I got a couple of rejections on my play this week. One was just a flat-out "thanks but no thanks." The other, from a well-respected theater here, was actually very encouraging. They said they "found it thoughtful and warmhearted, with intriguing and well-observed characters. That is really positive feedback -- at least I take it that way.

The reason they passed on it was that it was "a bit talky" for their tastes. That's fine. They have a certain thing that they are looking for and this wasn't it. But it might be exactly what some other theater is looking for. So I just have to find them.
