Abstract
As artists, we come to the theatre by accident or trauma. Weremain out of fortitude and stubbornness. Wereturn to each project with the knowledge that true discomfort is humanizing and that it is never too late for hope to stimulate change. Popular skepticism and a lot of contemporary theatre talk tell us that art has never changed anyone. We have seen the failure of a political attachment to culture and social change and prefer to abandon the idealism of the theatre we desire for the more practical concerns of the theatre we have. I have always believed in the innate power of the theatre to change people’s lives because it changed my own. While the Canadian regional theatre embraces dramaturgy in terms of “audience,” people seeing “their own stories,” and writers writing about “what they know” and creating works “for the large stage,” they fail to grasp the relevance of the independent dramaturges, who encourage writers to think unashamedly for themselves, pursue stories that have yet to be claimed and nurture the courage in playwrights to write about what they do not already understand.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
