I know I've crossed paths with a couple of people on here in the past who are involved in community theater.

I'm leading a working group for developing an AI policy for our community theater. I told the rest of the board that I would first take an informal survey of how other community theaters are approaching AI usage.

I've reached out to all of our local peers, but if you are a theater person on the fediverse, and you're aware of your community theater having an AI policy, I would love to hear from you.

(Editor's note: If you are not involved in theater and just want to sound off about AI, please save it. I would like to keep this thread manageable and on-topic. If you want to help, you can boost the post.)

@MLE_online I would love to see what policies you find.

I was recently in a production where some prop paper goods (posters/flyers/etc) were AI generated. Sure, I would have preferred if we hired a graphic designer, but this was made by a volunteer, and there was no policy against it.

@dlu So far I've had two theaters say they haven't even talked about a policy yet, two that say AI is not allowed at all (one has a formal policy and one has an informal agreement), and two that say AI can only be used for development and research, but not for any produced materials
