A stage company in the San Francisco Bay area is seeking to turn my manuscript, The Second Monkey Trial, into a stage play. A friend (an actor) who read it, showed it to a Producer.

If I agree, it might help when I seek an agent…or should I seek an agent first?

Dominic,

I would be tempted to leave the agent until later but my experience is neither fiction or works for the theatre so I don’t know what I’m talking about!

Congratulations

There are some screenwriters on Writers.net that could answer that question competently. If all the malware and viruses that infect that site haven't chased them off, that is.

domenic,

I am so happy with and for you.
I don't know what advice to give you.
I have not been in such an enviable position.

I'd go for the screenplay.

Congratulations Domenic. When it comes to negotiations, I suggest you seek help. An agent can help with that.

Domenic it is an opportunity. A chance to get your name in front of a producer is not to be sniffed at.

Dear Domenic,
I know nothing of agents, but I think you have been around a while. Look at what they offer. I hope it is the opportunity for you. Not everyone gets such an offer.

Your story is perfect for stage play with all the dialog.

Love,
Betty

You don't really need the selling expertise of an agent. You might do better with an entertainment attorney with theatrical experience, pay a one-time fee rather than royalties.
