Absolutely not. Coaches, parents, siblings, friends, etc., cannot suggest or recommend any content for the performance. However, it is okay to teach the team basic skills and generic information. For example, someone could teach the team that theatrical performances often include costumes, music, sets, backdrops, dance, special effects, etc. If the team chooses not to use any or all of these, no one else can suggest that they should. Also, if the team decides they will use costumes, music, or any other “standard” elements, all details of what it looks or sounds like, how it is designed or crafted, what it is made of, how it is used in the performance, and who will make it (or perform it) must be generated and implemented by the team.
