Show Check Ins

The Glass Menagerie Check Out
- Director: Victor
  - Everyone is happy
  - First time directors need to be very open to accepting help and vulnerable to the process
  - Good mix of professionalism, fun and seriousness throughout the process
- TD: Caitlin

  - This time slot is hard (weekend after Spring Break) – no way to guarantee how many people will be at move in; people will inevitably have to double up on roles
  - Need to clean up the workshop – paint cabinet particularly
  - One of the strike felons is pitching a show for the Fall 2016 season – just an FYI
  - When doing a period piece, make sure that crew has resources to really understand that specific period and make sure tech is appropriate

  - Communication between creative team and producers is necessary and was definitely not a problem on Glass
  - Only problems arose because of timing, post Spring Break
  - In the future, producer application needs to have dates on it to ensure that producers can fully commit to a show and can be held accountable for being at tech week
  - Definitely should get things done as far in advance as possible

  - Assistants were amazing
