The script, begun by Tom Stone and further developed by John Guare, was adapted from the Warren Commission Report, and the staging was influenced by Japanese Noh drama. Scenes from this project were rehearsed in many different forms and with different casts. American Theatre Laboratory disbanded in 1968.
