Articles discussing the Squirrelington Party-Agnostic Collaboration Agreement.
An Open Source Legal Agreement allowing independent artists and small theatres to join forces to do a show as equals.
It also has a limited scope of a single show and its extras, like edits and merch.
New versions can be drafted by the community to improve the agreement.
All are free to use it privately or publish their own versions.
Please note this is not legal advice. Any public discussion about the SPACA by Squirrelington Studios or its authors are for philosophical consideration only.
The Arts are hurting. Every year more local theatres close. Those that come after are fewer, smaller, and less well-funded. Artists are left without a stage. Social media drowns our voices, and colossal streaming companies tell you what your story will be.
The SPACA, and its new explainer videos can help. But we need your voice.

Three years ago, I wouldn’t have either.
I promise to explain myself, but in order to do that I’m going to have to share my story.
