My first play is in production with a small theater, and I stupidly went into the arrangement without ratifying a contract with them--instead assuming we would get through the process on the strength of our interpersonal relationships. I'm now paying the price in terms of dealing with a director who's rewriting my script without consulting me and getting upset when I show up for rehearsals.
In hindsight, I see I should have done more research, when I might have discovered that boilerplate contracts exist to cover this very thing. It sounds like the Dramatist's Guild of America has a good one, which is described on their Bill of Rights page.
Does anyone have their sample contract or one like it that they could share?
