CStone Qs

What was the inspiration to focus on issues on a community level as opposed to a larger social level or a smaller, more personal level? Or do you not see any distinction between those categories in which case perhaps you make the most crucial work you can think to make at the time of inception?

It reminds me of those books that are "choose your own adventure". This seems to be a belief that many different theaters have in their own company beliefs section so it seems to be a relatively popuar idea within the theater world. Or, at leat, well known.  I wonder if having the play interrupted would ruin the imaginary world which has been created. Is there a better way to get the audience involved without changing the traditional structure of a play?
