| Honestly, I don't care what you think. It's my property. Most of the competitions now have rules that schools cannot make cuts without the Playwrights permission in writing. I don't want things both ways. I want it one way. My way. As the owner of the property. The legal owner. If they choose not to do my play because I don't them to cut it, that is fine with me. Since this thread is about someone producing a play without seeking the rights... my comments are relative. You seem to be a part of the problem. if you are working with kids and cutting plays... Stop. And yes I was an educator but I don't remember ever cutting a play. The answer is... it's my play. Don't cut it without asking. And yes, I do take it personally since my property is being cut up. When you write a play and then manage to get it published, which is VERY difficult... let me know. Until then, don't give me a lecture about how you think I should feel. | |

| You seem to be a part of the problem. if you are working with kids and cutting plays... Stop. You have no idea who I am. Don't accuse me of anything. I am not cutting plays. And as I said, I don't think ATC is the right place for this discussion. Go teach your vocal students, who I'm sure are working on audition cuts lol. Take care. |

| Go teach your vocal students, who I'm sure are working on audition cuts lol. Take care. That is a pretty dumb comment. It's an audition. They aren't having a song cut down in a production of the show. Lin Manuel has plenty of money to fight this, in whatever way he chooses. My point is there are thousands of other Playwrights who get the same infringement of THEIR property and they are not able to sue every theatre that messes with their scripts. So it doesn't matter to me what you think is appropriate. Write a play yourself and get it published and then maybe you might have some idea of what I am talking about. |

I agree that is true, and it's horrible. (And at least you're acknowledging other playwrights now, not just "you, and you, and nothing but you.") So what are you going to do about it, aside from posting angrily on ATC? |

| I only hope to live long enough to see your play enter the public domain so I can produce a version that changes everything possible while still making it clearly your play... gender & ethnicity of characters, dialogue, setting, etc | |
