Hi, Yes, as already stated Brenda Laurel's Computer's as Theater is a great resource. This is an area of interest to me as well, studying theater education with a desire to work translating the theory and techniques of theater to design processess. There are some great CHI papers around using theater, and participatory design using role playing and games. Something I've been looking at and thinking about too is looking at material like Peter Brook's The Empty Space because the theory would translate to any creative form. Also look at people doing organizational development using Improv
