"The End of the Run"

The play ended its short but lovely run this afternoon, and now the hard work of trying to get it picked up by other companies starts. This is much harder than it sounds. It's already been rejected by a few companies that said things like "We enjoyed reading it, but ultimately decided it wasn't for us." That, of course, is like saying, "We're just not into you," and can be interpreted any number of ways. I know it's not badly written so... what? Too big a cast? Too gay? Playwright's last name isn't Kushner or Vogel? You wish they'd give you more, but they never do - a very frustrating experience that, as a writer, I have never gotten used to.
