Tech Week Notes from Erin

I just wanted to take a moment to talk about Tech/Dress Rehearsal etiquette. This is a huge undertaking, with a lot of moving parts, and limited time to accomplish all of the essential final preparations in the space. Some things to keep in mind for Wednesday and Thursday : 

1. When you are in the theatre space, please keep side conversations to a bare minimum. Lots of decisions will need to be made, and Claire, Christina, Matt, Matt and I will be triaging issues as they arise. The less we have to compete with other conversation the easier :) 

2. If you see something that isn't working, or that could be improved, know that we have probably seen it as well. If it isn't urgent (i.e. something has arisen that is physically impossible for you to do), please make a mental note of it and pass it along to me during a time when you see an opportune moment. We promise to do our best to deal with all of the concerns that you might have, but at certain points we have to make a choice about what is essential and what we can let slide. 

3. If there is a problem that you can easily and quietly fix on your own (that doesn't impact others), please do so. Shifting your standing position very slightly to allow for sight-lines would be something that falls into this category :)   


Other, general notes:
  • clean up all your makeup; tables have to be wiped each night
  • you are responsible for your costumes
  • everything has to be hung or folded in the appropriate place 
  • all props put back according to instructions
  • no food/garbage left in the dressing rooms each night
  • please don’t eat in your costume
  • most of these clothes are nicer than normal costumes, so please respect them and take care of them
