Interactive dramatists should note that just as a playhouse will often make changes to a playwright's drama for individual productions, we often make alterations to previously written material in order to adapt it to our own needs - often even so far as the last minute when players continue to drop or add. This usually includes but is not limited to things like adding characters or changing the sex of roles in order to fit the gender mix of our own troupe. Shakespeare's plays often go through even more radical interpretations for performance and so don't be surprised if the version of an interactive drama we produce is somewhat different from the one originally written.

Just as any traditional theatre troupe assumes certain liberties with a drama . . . once we endeavor to run an interactive drama, we assume the right to produce or direct it in the style or manner we see fit in order to suit the needs of our troupe. If this policy is not acceptable to you, please do not send us your scenarios. Our performance philosophy is to adapt the scenario to the players, not the other way around.
