Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

I usually have a workshop!. I get enough actors to read the roles, and have them read it, and give me feedback!. I also have a few people with good heads on their shoulders who I also have read it, and both groups often give me a good picture of what it needs!.

The biggest difficulty is finding the people to do it!. If you write regularly, work on setting up a group!. In Canberra, we have a playwrights group for this purpose!. And I'm also part of a local company who are always working on new stage plays!. There are a few groups in the capitals who may help: La Mama in Melbourne and Belvoir in Sydney, but if you're anywhere near Canberra, Canberra Dramatics will help!.
