53 Why PionEER: DRAMA WITHOUT THE DRAMA Words on a page are just words on a page. It takes people to turn them into plays and musicals. At Pioneer, we want the thrill of the applause to stay with you forever, no matter which side of the curtain you re on. Everything we do is designed to give you the best experience possible: Maintain control of your casting. We know you can t always control who auditions. Take advantage of our many shows that indicate flexible casting and switch the genders of your roles without restrictions. And with Pioneer, you also get access to scripts that were written for the entire cast, not just a star lead performer like so many other mainstream musicals and plays. Adapt and customize. Pioneer helps you manage the number of roles in your production. We indicate where doubling is possible for a smaller cast, as well as provide suggestions where extras are possible to allow for additional actors. Both options will help you tailor your play for your specific cast size, not the other way around. Be original. Get access to fresh, new musicals that will let your actors develop their characters instead of mimicking the same personalities we see on stage year after year. Take advantage of our teaching tools. Pioneer s CD Sets include two high quality, studio-produced discs one with lyrics so your students can learn by ear, the other without so they can rehearse and perform without an accompanist or pit band. You can even burn a copy of the vocal CD for each cast member without worrying about copyright laws. And with payment of your royalty, you have permission to use the karaoke CD in your actual production. It s like having an assistant. Use our Director s Books and benefit from professional features designed by and for directors. Line counts, scene breakdowns, cues and notes you ll love our spiral-bound, 8½ x 11 books with the full script only on one side of the page to leave plenty of room for your own notes. Videotaping? We d be disappointed if you didn t! With Pioneer, you ll never have to worry about videotaping your production and posting it on YouTube. In fact, we encourage it. We understand that your production is about your performers, not our script. Make the experience the best it can be, take pictures and videos, and share them with the community. We always love seeing our scripts come to life.
