Show Check Ins

Really Really
- Director: Rachel
  - Really smooth process on her end
  - Felt confident as a director and in her abilities
  - Expectations as a director in Stage Troupe isn’t made clear to those who aren’t already aware of traditions in Stage Troupe
  - There should be a more systematic way to introduce new directors into Stage Troupe
- Stage Manager: Erin
  - First time head stage managing a show
    - Helpful to have Karlie in the rehearsal room as a past SM to provide quick answers to questions
  - Really helpful that she got put on the fourth slot show – gave her more time to really learn the role as a new SM
  - All of the heads who are in the booth with SM must be there every night (ie. sound and lights)
  - Had really fantastic assistants
  - Returned keys
- TD: Danny
  - Being hyper organized was super helpful
  - Talkback was highly successful – definitely recommend for the future
  - Email is best form of communication currently
  - Advice for future TDs: stay calm, stay cool, stay collected
- Producer: Andy and Sarah
  - Amazon wish list was difficult to use but ended up being ok
    - Still had to do a fair amount of SDRs because it’s impossible to get certain things from Amazon
  - Processing SDRs right now
  - Came in extremely under budget
    - E-Board can use the remainder of the budget however it sees fit
    - Could definitely use it to replenish producer’s booth supplies – order Andy and Sarah put into SAO to do so got messed up
  - Sold out on Saturday night
  - Talkback went well – not a fit for every show but should be used more
  - Should do 5” x 7” headshots not 8” x 10” because it’s more expensive to do the latter
  - Hard to have producers be involved with a show when they have a show going up right after
  - Still need a new organizer for the producer’s booth
  - During performances, people were putting things in the producers booth without asking – should be avoided in the future
One Acts
- Directors: Danny
  - Necessary to have directing for monologuers
- VPSP: Ali
  - We should keep musical numbers in
    - Need to make sure that we have monologue and musical numbers director apply in the future to ensure that they’re committed
  - Respect issue between all parties involved in One Acts
  - “It’s just One Acts” attitude needs to stop
  - Chris was an incredible TD
  - Strike was a little messy but it happened
- President: Michael
  - We’re going to do a survey for everyone involved in One Acts soon
- TD: Chris
  - BUC was a great place to have One Acts – good alternative to the theater
  - Tech meetings were ineffective – people didn’t come so there wasn’t much that could be accomplished
  - Musical numbers need to be set in stone from casting on – people changed songs during tech week
  - Division of power was very unclear – felt like the TD and the overall director of One Acts
  - Returned keys
  - Lighting was very limited in BUC
