I wanted to share what I learned from the Quest and how their theatrical license avoided other licensing and legal issues forthem. I couldn't find the links and references I wanted though. I know a few dungeon owners that join SCA and/or include a membership contract stating that it is for "theatrical reenactment" only.
The SCA is a not for profit organization that very strictly controls every activity that takes place in any form that could even be remotely connected with its name or even with its members going off on their own and doing things that look like they could be connected with the SCA.
And nothing about joining the SCA, or LORT or any other organization will exempt anyone from zoning ordinances, or any other regulations. People have tried calling their activities a church, psychotherapeautic roleplay, 'acting lessons' and everything else, if the authorities and courts decide that you have violated a law, none of those comic book measures will amount to a hill of beans.
Rather than looking for a 'clever' dodge around the laws, I would suggest following the advice already given to research the laws and moral climate where you are, and make sure that your activities stay well within the lines.
