Here's how your Citizenship works for you and anyone can join who supports our cause of purpose:
1. If you are a Playwright, we will place your plays here online (with your permission) for other Citizens to download and critique.2. If you are a Playwright directing your own play, let us know immediately so we can celebrate you and your production here online.
3. Submit your bio, resume and any other supporting materials to us for inclusion here in our online Citizenship database and tell us why you joined.
4. If you are a Playwright who wants to direct, but cannot because you're told "Playwrights write, Directors direct", we will be your repository for moral support and inspiration. We will help you construct an argument for self-direction and we shall bring the weight of the other Citizens to bear in a sustained, proactive action supporting your cause. Usually the best solution to this problem is to start your own theatre, because then you and you alone, call the shots.
5. Please realize that The United Stage's prime concern is with first time productions and Playwrights directing their own work. It's accepted and understood that a Playwright can't direct every instance of his/her play in the world, but since many of those subsequent productions will be based upon that initial production... it's vital that the birth production be self-directed.
6. We believe the Play(wright's) the thing.
