CAN   ANYONE   LEASE   X-CURSION    MEDIA    SCRIPTS?

No.    X-Cursion Media  is looking for  organizations and  businesses to lease their scripts rather than individuals who
are  not connected to an organization.   These  organizations can be  religious,  business,  theater company  (union or non-union),
junior  and  senior  high schools  (public, independent, or parochial),  drama clubs,  college,  science fiction or fantasy conventions,
fraternal, charity, medical...as  long  as it's an established  organization  OR  business.     The  lessee  (person  representing
their organization),  must  be   21   years old  or  over   to   LEASE    X-Cursion  Media's  original  scripts.

Let's say your business makes a  living making furniture, it has nothing to do with theater, BUT for some reason
this business has a variety show during  the  year  to  boost morale, etc.   If your business wants to lease any of the
X-Cursion Media  scripts available, then you can.    Any organization (religious, business, fraternal, civic, theatrical, club, etc.).
Festivals and fairs often have  theatrical performances.   They're  sponsored  by  established  organizations.


 

WHAT   IF   THE   LESSEE    ALTERS  OR  MODIFIES  AN   X-CURSION   MEDIA   CONTRACT?

If  the   lessee  (X-Cursion Media's   client)   has   a  problem   with  an  X-Cursion Media  contract,
they  should    contact   X-Cursion Media  with  their  concern.    No person   outside of  X-Cursion  Media
should  be  altering  X-Cursion Media  leasing  contracts.       Altering   X-Cursion Media  contracts  can
result  in  your  school,  college,  convention,  church,  theater company,  or  organization  being  prohibited
from  leasing,  performing,  or  using   X-Cursion Media  scripts  for  classroom-study  use.     Contracts

are  not  official  until they are  authenticated  /  signed  by  BOTH  parties--the lessee  and  X-Cursion Media.



AM    I   GETTING    SCRIPTS     FOR      STAGE    PLAYS?

No.     The   X-Cursion  Media  scripts   for  leasing  (all  written  by  Bradley Thunderbird  Phoenix),  are  
AUDIO  PLAY  (radio play)  SCRIPTS  of  various   genres    and    NOT    stage  play  scripts.     It's   OK,  many   of  these
audio  play  scripts  can  be  CONVERTED into  stage  plays.    Some work as  theatrical monologues, especially 
audio plays such as:   "They're Deadly",  "All Robots Go To Heaven", "Death Stare",  and  "The Day Music Lived".
X-Cursion  Media  plays  & skits  contain  all   the  necessary   components  for  doing  so:

The  setting  of  the  plays
The  characters  in the  plays
The   dialogue  for  the  actors
In some cases, a  narrator  who gives  Rod-Serling-like  narration to intro and outro  the plays
Directions  on  which  emotions should  be  expressed,  which  accent to use,  or  which  tone  of  voice  to  use
Suggested   sound  effects  (SFX)    and    music  to   use
 
Costumes,  hitting  your  marks,  props for the actors,  lighting, elaborate sets,  and  memorization of the script  is  NOT
required  for  actors  performing  audio plays   



HOW  MUCH  MUSIC  AND  SOUND EFFECTS (SFX)   CAN  I  USE   WHEN I  PRODUCE  THEM?

In some of  Brad Phoenix's audio plays, the MUSIC is suggested.   The choice of what music to use is
always at the discretion of the director and producers.    Sound effects  (SFX) are written into most of the
audio scripts, BUT you have to select the sound effects that you want in your production(s).    Stores  such
as  FYE,  Borders  Bookstore  &  Music,  and Tower Records  carry  sound effect audio CDs.    You can
also pull sound effects off the web that are in public domain.    Many audio techs associated with your
production have the ability to create sound effects on a synthesizer or their laptop.    I would suggest
an audio crew be off stage and that you have a mixer.   You can patch & plug  the sound equipment you
need into the mixer.   Things to plug into your mixer:   CD player (two of them), microphones, video camera,
sound sampler (to introduce SFX), and a laptop  (to introduce SFX  OR  record your performances).

In  audio  (radio)   theater,  the  actors  stand in front of  microphones (there could be  2  to  8  microphones on stage)
and  perform while reading their scripts (on stage, in a recording studio, or live over the radio).     Microphones  are
essential  to  performing  audio plays.   Sound  effects  punctuate  the  play.   You can have a sound effects station
OFF STAGE  or  ON STAGE.    You can  have the sound effects (SFX)  channeled  through a  mixer to go out over
the P.A. system in the auditorium or venue  for your productions.     In  audio (radio)  theater,  the person  putting in
the sound effects manually  and/or electronically  (CDs, lap top,  pc,  sound sampler, etc.)  is  called   a 

SOUND  EFFECTS  ARTIST  (similar to the  FOLEY  artist  in  movies).    Accept  the  sound effects artist  doesn't 
do the  sound effects in  POST production, but    DURING  the  plays.    Music  is  needed for transitions  to different
scenes and to support a scene.    

       * Your  high  school  band  may be able  to supply  some of the background and transitional  music needed for
          your  productions!    :)       OR   you  can  search for  music on CDs in  public domain.

BUT  you  can  have  an audio play  without  music and  sound effects.     With  audio plays,  the  announcer reads
the  intro  in  some cases,  but  always  reads  the  credits (cast & crew)  after  EACH  play  or  skit.    Yes, audio plays
are different, but very interesting.   Go to a search engine and search for  the  Radio Theater Conventions nearest YOU.   
 

HOW    DO     I    CONVERT     AN     AUDIO   PLAY     INTO     A     STAGE    PLAY?


It's  not  hard.    Break  down  the  audio play  into  scenes.    Most  audio  plays  have   3  to  6  scenes.  

Let's  just say you wanted to perform the  X-Cursion Media  audio play,"The  Outcast  Ones".    This  audio play
has   four  characters  with  two  implied  characters   who  don't  have  any  dialogue  (extras).   Three 
characters make  up the  board  that has  one  character  on  trial.    The  setting  is  a  Protestant  church building.
The  characters  are  ALL   pastors  in  the  same  denomination.     Once  you  get  the  audio play script,  the 
director  can  begin  converting  this  into  a   stage  play.     You  can  have   three  pastors  seated  behind  a  long  table.
The  two  pastors who have  no dialogue  can  set  up  and  operate  the  video  camera  and  microphones  (props)
because their  function  in   the  scene  is  to  record  the trial  as  a  digital  record  for their governing  elders to view.
OR,   you  can   eliminate   the  two  implied  characters  (who  don't  have any dialogue)...it's  up   to   the  director.

The  pastor  who  is  on trial   can  be  seated  at  a   short  table  in  front  of   the   three  pastors  perhaps 
between  15   to  30 feet away.     The  tables  can  be   angled  so  that  the  audience can  view  all   the  actors'  faces.
There's  only  one  setting  and  one  scene  for,"The  Outcast  Ones".   This  audio  play   runs  less than  15  minutes  long.
You  already  have  the  dialogue.    All  the  actors have to do  is  memorize  their  lines  for  the  STAGE  PLAY.

REMINDER:    The  X-Cursion Media  contracts  PERMITS  an organization or business   that  has  signed  their contracts
                            to  eliminate  portions of dialogue  or characters,   but  NOT  to  add   dialogue  or  characters.
                            No  school, business, theater company,  church, convention, organization, or  individual  should
                            have   any original X-Cursion  Media  script  without the written permission of  Bradley Phoenix or  having 
                            signed  an  X-Curison Media  leasing  contract.  

Many  folks  are  not  used  to  seeing  actors  lined  up in a row on stage,  acting in front of microphones performing
AUDIO  PLAYS.    They are  used  to  stage  plays.   But  therein  lies  the charm  of  audio (radio)  theater;  it's  a unique
medium  that  multiple  millions of  folks just don't know  much about.    

Contact me if you still need assistance with converting my audio plays into a stage play.

                                                                  these  two plays were  written  to  warn against  the  destructive power of corporate
                                                                  greed   (the  LOVE / LUST  of  money  is  the root  of  all  evil)  and  political corruption.    
                                                                  The  love of  money  causes  some  to  steal,  lie,  murder,  and  even  start  unjustified  wars.                                

                                                                  But   religious  organizations  are  welcome  to  select  any  X-Cursion Media  audio play they
                                                                  feel  would   be  entertaining   or   an  education  tool.  
 

                                                                

 CONVENTION  CONTRACT    for  science fiction,  fantasy,  horror,  and  audio theatre  conventions.   Some of  these conventions  are 
                                                        for one  day.      Most of these conventions  last about 5 - 7 days   and  some are for a weekend only.   
                                                        An  X-Cursion Media contract  must  be  renewed  for  each  NEW  convention.    The lessee  (client)    
                                                        for this contract   must  indicate  the  dates  of  their convention  (for  example,  June 12  -  June 18).

                                                        (audio theatre)  conventions.       
                                                        The contract to lease X-Cursion Media scripts expires  when the convention is over.                                                

                                                        
                                                         We've  got  science  fiction  and  horror  MONOLOGUES that  are  less than  8 minutes.
                                                         Remember,  like  READING  THEATER,  the  actor / actress  performs  while  READING
                                                         the  script--no memorization  is  needed.    We've  got  scripts such as:   "The Day Music Lived!"
                                                         "All Robots Go to Heaven",   "Do Blind People Dream in Color?",  'The "Made'  Rat"
                                                         (Goodfellas  meets  the  Twilight  Zone)...and  much  more.

HOW   ARE   X-CURSION   MEDIA   SCRIPTS   SENT   TO   THE    LESSEE?

For businesses and  organizations in the United  States  of  America,
X-Cursion  Media   would  like  to  send  their  scripts  via  the  U.S. Post  Office,  but  in  some  cases that
may  not  be  fast  enough.    If  the  lessee  needs  the  scripts  ASAP  and  is  willing  to pay for it,  then  the
X-Cursion Media  scripts  can  be  sent  by   Fedex,  DHL,  or  any  other  corporation that offers  overnight
or 2-day delivery.    That  means that  in  addition  to  the  rent  for  the  scripts,  the  lessee would have to  pay
for  overnight  or 2-day delivery  (a separate payment).     X-Cursion  Media  scripts will NOT be e-mailed overseas!

 

For  foreign  audio  theater companies  registered  on  www.audiotheater.com,  please  plan  ahead, because
X-Cursion Media  does  not  want  to  send its  scripts via  e-mail  to  a  foreign country.    It's  a  matter of
control  and  cutting  down the  chances of  script piracy.   

When  scripts are  mailed  to the  lessee  via  the U.S. Post Office,  there's  NO  charge.    ONLY  if  a  school,
organization, or theater company  needs  a  X-Cursion  Media  script  or  scripts    OVERNIGHT  is there an 
EXTRA   charge  for  shipping  &  handling   (Fedex,  DHL,  UPS,   Airborne,  etc.).

HOW   DO   EXPIRATION    DATES   ON    X-CURSION   MEDIA   CONTRACTS   WORK?

If   a    theatre  company,  school,  church,  etc.,  leases  an  X-Cursion  Media  script  for  4  months for  example, 
and  the  contract  is  signed by  the   lessee  and  then  the  lessor  on  January  15th,  then  the  last  day  in 
May  is  the  expiration date.    IF  the  contract  is  signed  by  the  lessee  and  then  the  lessor on
April  24   for  a  six-month  contract,  then  the  expiration  date  will be  on  the last day of October.

For  colleges  and  universities,  the  expiration date is  at  the  end of 
each  semester  (the  beginning and ending dates
of  a  semester must be  written on the contract),   and 
NOT  for  a  entire  school  year  (as for  junior and  senior
high schools).  
The expiration  date is  the  day  when  ALL   X-Cursion Media  scripts  should  either  be  mailed  to
X-Cursion  Media   OR   completely  destroyed.     

If  the  lessee  received  a  script  or  scripts  via   e-mail,  then   ALL   X-Cursion Media  should  be  completely
deleted  from their pc  / computer  once  the  contract  has  expired.   Most  public schools  have  a  school  year  from  
September   to  June.   So,  for example,  the  expiration of  their contract  for  September 2007  is  the last  day  of  June 2008.


 

 

WHAT  IF   THE   LESSEE  SIGNS  THE  CONTRACT,  PAYS,   AND  THEN  DECIDES   NOT   TO   LEASE?


IF  the   lessee  has  ALREADY  signed and  mailed  back  the  X-Cursion Media contract  with  their  payment
AND   then  decides  NOT  to   produce / perform  a  certain  audio  play  or  plays  or  make use of  them for classroom use.

Then   the   lessee  has   one  of   two   choices:   

A.    Get  credit  toward  a  new  contract  and  new  selections of  a  X-Cursion  Media  script  or  scripts.
        Since  the  lessee's  money  was  already  received.    As  long  as  it  matches  the amount of  scripts
        covered  by  their  payment.    For  example,  if  $100  was  paid  for  four  scripts, then  the  lessee (client)
        may  select   four    NEW     X-Cursion Media  scripts  for  the  same  price.     If  the  lessee needs   MORE
        scripts  which  is  NOT  covered  by the initial  payment,  then  additional  money would be  required to  X-Cursion Media.


B.    Be  refunded    HALF  of   the  amount  paid.    For  example,  if  the  lessee  paid  $50.00   then
        they  are  entitled to  get 
half  of  the  amount  back:   $25.00.    Similar to  passengers canceling
        airline flights,  there is a monetary  penalty for cancellations.     This  cancellation penalty is due  mostly to two
        factors:     processing  fee   and  portions of  the  proceeds will be  given  to  a   the  Helen  Keller Services for the Blind.
       

THE    SCRIPT   SELECTING   PROCESS...


It  is  very  important  that  the  lessee  (client)   contacts  X-Cursion Media  and  asks  questions  about  any
X-Cursion Media  script  they  are  considering  to  produce  and  perform   BEFORE  signing  an  X-Cursion Media
contract.    There  is  a   list  of   the  audio   plays  for  leasing   on  this  web  page    (PLEASE   SCROLL   UP); 
it  gives   the  titles of  the  copyrighted  X-Cursion Media plays,  the description of the stories,  the genre  it
falls under  (science  fiction,  suspense,  drama, etc.),  how  many  characters in the play, and  the  approximate 
running  time.    In  some  cases,  the audio play the  lessee is  considering is  on  this website as  an  excerpt 
or  a  full play.    For example,  the  audio play,  "Color  Me  Bigot",  is  a  comedy,  it  has  two characters only 
(a  husband and wife),  and  the  running  time  as  an  audio  play is  approximately  17  minutes.    As  a  stage 
play  it  would  probably  be closer  to  20 minutes.    There  is  no  excessive foul  language  or  taking  of  the 
Lord's  name in  vain  in  any  of  X-Cursion  Media's  original  audio  plays  (we don't  need cursing and foul
language,  what  we  need  are  character-driven stories and  strong plots).

PLEASE    DO    YOUR     HOMEWORK,   FIND   OUT   ABOUT   THE   SCRIPT(S)    THAT   INTEREST   YOU.


    
                    
WHAT    IF   THE    LESSEE    (CLIENT)    HASN'T   SIGNED   A   CONTRACT   OR   SENT   ANY   MONEY
AND    THEY   DECIDE   NOT  TO   LEASE    AN   X-CURSION   MEDIA   SCRIPT   OR   SCRIPTS?


The  lessee  has  these  options:

1.   Discard the  X-Cursion Media  contract.
2.   Use  the  blank  contract  toward  new selections  at  a  later  date.
3.   Give  the  blank  contract  to another business OR  organization  that may be interested in leasing  from X-Cursion Media.




CAN   A   TEACHER,  TEACHER'S   AID,   INSTRUCTOR,  OR    PROFESSOR   USE   THEIR   PERSONAL  MONEY?


Yes,   the  teacher  or  teacher's  aid  in a  grade  school,  junior high  school,  senior  high school   OR   an  instructor or
professor  in a  college  can  pay  out of  their own  pockets  to  lease  X-Cursion  Media  scripts (personal check, PayPal,
bank money order, U.S. Post office money order, Traveler's check, etc.),
  but  it's  conditional.
 
The aforementioned school employees  cannot  lease  X-Cursion Media scripts unless  their  principal  or  vice principal  of 
their school,  president of the college,  vice  presidents at the college, or  Dean  of  Students  are   AWARE  of   their  leasing 
X-Cursion  Media scripts.   X-Cursion Media needs to know the name of your principal, vice principal, Dean, President of your
college, etc., so that they can send them a photocopy of your payment.    IF the lessee is a principal, vice principal, Board of Education
official, Superintendent of Schools, then X-Cursion Media would welcome an official letter from your school stationery for our file copy.
Mailing  official school stationery to  X-Cursion Media is always welcome.  

The bottom line:   Upper management school officials must be aware of what you're doing.   So X-Cursion Media will
                              need your schools principal's name, address for the school, and phone number for the principal's office.
                              For colleges, we will require the Dean of Student's name, address, and phone number   OR  the college president's
                              office.    Without this information, X-Curision Media will not sign the contract.
