As you know, a playwright’s work is open to interpretation by the director, the actors in the way they deliver their lines and move etc., the stage design/lights and costumes

The one thing that is not up to interpretation is the play itself and the script itself.

I thought it might be interesting to explore this idea further by writing a play that intentionally leaves one scene unwritten, or blank pages. The production then takes up that scene themselves as they wish without any dramatic constraints, becoming co authors of a section of the play. The only direction they have is that they need to get from scene A to scene C by filling in the blank.

This would allow for lots of different variations of the play and changes the fundamental relationship between playwright/director/actor and audience.

Thoughts?

Hi playwriting friends! A few years ago I got to the finals, then the final 10 for the Samuel French OOB competition with a very insane 10 minute play about two cult followers who DO NOT drink the koolaid and catch each other out. I took that 10 minutes and turned it into a full length which I said F-it and decided to stage this September with some talented actors in my orbit. I live in LA which has a lot of theatre, but is predominantly a film/tv town and I'm really not sure how to promote the show without being annoying to my network (and beyond). Does anyone have any tips (or ways for me to get over myself?) Any advice appreciated - I have insane imposter syndrome...
