Show Check-Ins

God of Carnage
- Directors: Erin and Maggie
  - Cast is getting along extremely well
  - Sydney was super helpful as a guest director
  - Actors are off-book
  - Doing full runs
  - Met with Elle for headshots
  - Met with costumes, props, and set department heads
- SM: David
  - Soft off-book yesterday went very well. Most, if not all, lines are memorized
  - Rehearsals are scheduled all the way through move-in
  - Call times for tech week will be 6:00, and actors are doing their best to eliminate conflicts for the last two weeks of the show
- TD: Brian
  - Had department meetings this week. They were a little rocky, but things are going to move forward
  - Has now met with every department—feels okay about where everything is
  - Build week begins tomorrow. It shouldn’t be too stressful. Hoping to be done before Friday
  - Sat through a run and really enjoyed it
  - Talked with Sofija about getting CFA artist friends to donate their art to the show
  - Met with props—the vomit seems to be in good hands (gross)
  - Recommendation: People who have never been TD/ATD can be a competent TD with the help of a supportive TA, but the time crunch of working on the first show of the season doesn’t give them the time to get the hang of the position
- Producer: Elle
  - T-shirts are finished
  - Headshots are almost complete
  - The order for the poster is in
  - Cover photos will be finished sometime this week
  - Collecting cast and crew bios
Twelve Angry Jurors
- Director: Cassidy
  - Rehearsals are going well.
  - It has been difficult to block the show because cast members are failing to show up to rehearsal without letting the SM know in advance
  - Apart from the new conflicts and absences, everything else has been going smoothly
- SM: Ariana
  - Reviewed blocking for Acts I and II, so now the entire cast is up to speed
  - Soft off-book is tomorrow, and hard off-book is next week. Actors seem to be very comfortable with the lines
  - Had an ASM drop, but Rachel Rex has offered to step up and take her place
  - Actors are coming up with new conflicts without warning ahead of time
- TD: Sam
  - Met with Francis and Cassidy to discuss tech vision
  - The shared folder on Google Drive is proving to be very efficient. It helps everyone be able to look at the same document during tech meetings to avoid confusion
  - Had a tech meeting today and established goals of what to work on going forward. Got to check in with most departments, including producing
- Producers: HwaYoun and Andy
  - Met with all three assistants on Saturday and delegated specific roles to each of them
  - Set deadlines for the promotional material, t-shirts, bios, etc.
  - Received a full budget breakdown and contacted department heads with their budgets
  - In contact with the SM about scheduling the photo shoot. It will probably be divided into multiple nights due to scheduling conflicts
The Fantasticks
- Director: Ellie
  - Rehearsals are going well. Blocking and character work are moving quickly
  - Very impressed with the cast/crew’s enthusiasm
  - It’s been tricky to block without physical scripts, but everyone’s making it work
- SM: Rachel and Chrissy
  - Everything is going well
  - Scheduling has been going smoothly, and the cast is getting consistent rehearsal updates each week
  - Splitting up and alternating character/blocking notes
- TD: Devika
  - Had first tech meeting today. Some departments didn’t show up
  - Scheduled some department meetings
  - May or may not have a tech meeting next week—seeing how department meetings go first
