Since we have used an existing story that has been written by someone else. Also the fact that it's someone else's real life experience means we need to be careful with how we use it as they might be sensitive with it for example, going on television(Not that it will!) or putting it in a published book(not that it will do that either!).
We should be careful that it isn't ours, and should give credit to the author. We should also contact the author, telling them about how we have used it in our piece and why, to let them know. But we should have done that at the beginning actually and got permission from her.
In addition to this, Imogen covered 'Perfect' by Pink as the audience came in. I think it should also be noted that this isn't our song, this isn't the one we wrote.

West Yorkshire Playhouse Funding
The West Yorkshire Playhouse a huge company and therefore is funded in many ways.
At the beginning of January 2011, the West Yorkshire Playhouse was awarded a grant of £1.4million from the Arts Council to fund a two year programme of research and development. The West Yorkshire Playhouse said that this funding will help them to communicate with audiences and gain feedback, work with communities in and around Leeds, help develop relationships with new and existing artists.
'Funding for the Playhouse comes from Arts Council England (£1,100,000), Leeds City Council (£820,000), Leeds Education Authority (£84,000) and West Yorkshire Grants (£97,000). The Playhouse has over twenty-five corporate members in its Directors' Club including Evans property group, Carlsberg Tetley, Yorkshire Post, ITV Yorkshire and Leeds Metropolitan University.' - http://www.theatreandshowflyers.com/theatre-details.asp?custid=480
They will also get money from tickets they sell for the plays they put on.
The 'First Floor' project at the West Yorkshire Playhouse recieves no regular funding or public funding. The playhouse is constantly looking for new and sustainable ways to fund it, but now has to rely on fundraising, project funding and deliver work. If you wish to take part in an activity you have to pay a small fee of, normally, £1 to cover workshop costs.

Health& Safety!
Health and safety is important when you have an audience, because you are responsible for them as well as yourself.
You must make sure that fire exits are always available. You don't know when a fire will happen (Unless you expect something could happen due to a certain scene in your performance.) and your audience definately won't. Make sure they know where it is by pointing it out, or at least having a visable sign. Of course, keep the path to it clear.
If you're using anything, such as a large prop, which could possibly fall onto the audience if knocked over, make sure a space is cleared around it or move it away from the audience.
Your own safety on stage is also important.
-Keep wires out of the way, or anything you could fall over.
-Wear sensible shoes if you're going to do a lot of moving around.
-Don't move heavy props on your own.
-Rehearse so you know where things will move to.
