As one of the two playwrights, I was mainly in charge of writing new scenes as well as editing them to make each scene flow one after the next. For example, during cold reads, Cara and I made changes to the conceptual ideas of our play as well as grammar of each individual line.
Before:
Jose: I think he did
After: Jose thinks he did
This may not seem like a big change at first but, we changed Jose's character, making him talk in the third person. It makes for a more interesting character. It also adds to the absurdity that is our play, making Tyler even more freaked out about his whereabouts and the situation that he is in.
Our original ending was cheesy, ending with an original song by Tyler while all the other characters join along with him. We changed this to Tyler singing his original song but everybody not accepting him, making him the outcast once more. The final scene, rather the final line is based off of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, exclaiming, "There must have been a moment in the beginning when I could have said no-but somehow, I missed it. It allows for much more interpretation from the audience.
We also added a scene to add more layers to the play. This scene consists of a drama class, led by Mr. Dri Dri, that the class comes up with a plan to make Tyler learn his lesson. The following scene questions whether they are just acting within the play or being themselves.
