I think complete involvement would be a pain in the ass for them. While they would be trying to fulfill the play, I would probably be trying to rewrite it. Productions fare best when a director is in charge. They don't need an outside force pressing on them. You are continually honing your plays.
Plays are always unfinished.
Sam Shepard, Brecht and other playwrights have always continued to rework their plays. You've actually developed a number of partnerships with small theaters. I've a very good relationship with Smoke Brush in Colorado Springs, as well as the Magic Theater in Omaha. I've also begun working with the New Theater in Dallas, Texas. They do my plays, though we've only known each other over the telephone.
