Everything I’ve read has suggested Drew Barrymore was going unscripted until the WGA strike was over (i.e. they were fully working within the terms of the strike).
Yes and no? Improve is off the top of your head and is usually an acting method or exercise… writers do not improv. the writer may give prompts to have an actor or speaker go off the actors own ideas, but there is no structured writing and ideas coming from the writer going into the content of the improv exercise or method… whose line is it anyways, is a good example… there are prompts for the actors, but all content came from the actor themselves.
I hadn’t heard that she was intending to go unscripted, my apologies.
In my opinion, that’s an attempt to find a way around the strike and to cut writers’ labour from the equation so I would still consider that to be roughly equivalent to scabbing, but I realize that not everyone thinks that way.

Do you have a source to suggest otherwise?

Pretty sure that ‘Improve’ tbe method, does not involve writing… it’s content that you come up with off the top of your head… there is no script

Lol you’d rather fake the meaning of words than believe a Mother Jones article, of all things, is bullshit.
