But as a simple old corporate body, it might not qualify in RDA or AACR2
as a creator. It has to fit into those categories to be a creator in RDA.

Subject: [RDA-L] 6JSC/LC/6/rev artist groups
In 6JSC/LC/6/rev, there is a proposal to add a new category for corporate
bodies considered to be creators:
g) named individual works of art by two or more artists acting as a
corporate body.
Recently, we had a number of plays to catalog that were written
collectively by a theater troupe called the Five Lesbian Brothers.
We entered the works under the heading for the troupe, applying AACR2
21.1B2 category e):
those that result from the collective activity of a performing group as a
whole where the responsibility of the group goes beyond that of mere
performance, execution, etc. Publications resulting from such activity
include sound recordings, films, videorecordings, and written records of
performances.
However these plays are not truly the written records of performances,
they were written in advance of performance.
I'm wondering if the new category g) in RDA is perhaps too narrow and
should be expanded to include works of literature, or if "works of art"
could be interpreted to also include, fiction, drama, etc.?
The plays in question that we have include (AACR2 titles and statements of
responsibility shown):
Brave smiles : --another lesbian tragedy / by The Five Lesbian
Brothers; Maureen Angelos ... [et al.].
Oedipus at Palm Springs / a Five Lesbian Brothers play ; written by
Maureen Angelos ... [et al.].
Five Lesbian Brothers/four plays / the Five Lesbian Brothers.
The secretaries / by the Five Lesbian Brothers ; Maureen Angelos
... [et al.].
