Playwrights: What are the pitfalls you have found when working with companies developing your work  at the earilest stages of writing?

Actors: When working on new works what are the issues that come up that stifle your creative choices?

Playwrights/Actors: During readings and workshops, actors aren't often expected to provide input. If they were more formally included in the process, what should their role be?

How much input do you feel directors, producers, artistic directors should have and what is and isn't productive in new play development?
