houseman determined that there were no legal restrictions on performing the musical with a new financial backer, and beginning on june 18, helen deutsch, press agent for the theatre guild, agreed to serve as the financial backer for "the cradle will rock"; the actors received a two-week leave of absence from the wpa, and, in an agreement with actors' equity, deutsch paid the 19 cast members $1500 for the two weeks' performances. two days later, houseman announced that, should the production prove successful, the two-week run would be continued indefinitely. houseman also announced that the musical would continue to be performed with blitzstein playing piano onstage and the cast members singing from the audience. he asserted that this made the audience feel like part of the show, stating, "there has always been the question of how to produce a labor show so the audience feels like it is a part of the performance. this technique seems to solve that problem and is exactly the right one for this particular piece". the success of the performance led welles and houseman to form the mercury theatre.
