Executive Board Notes 2/26/17

Show Check-Out

  • God of Carnage
    • Directors: Erin and Maggie
      • Everyone seemed really happy with the show overall
      • Really great experience. Everything went so smoothly
    • SM: David
      • The actors were very cooperative and on-time to every call
      • Julia was an amazing ASM. If she would SM One-Acts, she would be ready to SM a mainstage

      • Build week was a lot of fun
      • Shout-out to Sydney and Nathan for being such supportive E-Board members
      • SM should check-in with TD to schedule tech runs
      • If future TDs have difficulty contacting their crew via email, it is very effective to text them directly
      • During move-in and strike, it is much more efficient to ask specific people to do specific things than simply to ask for volunteers
      • ATD Sophia was absolutely amazing. She felt more like a co-TD than an ATD. She is ready to TD a mainstage
      • We need a new barrel and/or dolly for the Space
    • Producer: Elle
      • Sold around 30 tickets on the first day, 45 on the second, and 56 on the last day
