Show Check-Outs

Twelve Angry Jurors
- Director: Cassidy
  - Everything went very, very well
  - Tech week was incredibly smooth. Couldn’t have asked for a better process this week
  - Such a large cast—all of whom are important—is difficult to work with. There was a large time crunch with scheduling, which unfortunately imposed upon rehearsal length and creating a friendly and casual dynamic
  - Suggests putting something on audition forms to indicate whether people are auditioning for multiple groups/willing to be double-cast
  - Ariana was a stunning SM
- SM: Ariana
  - The show went really well, and the actors were incredibly communicative during tech week
  - Twelve cast members were a lot to work with. Large casts should have larger SM teams
  - Rachel was a fantastic ASM. She may want to ASM another show if she isn’t comfortable herself, but she is definitely capable of being a head SM
- TD: Sam
  - Build was completely finished by Monday night, and lights finished very quickly
  - Cassidy had great ideas for tech. It was also helpful to run the knife prop over and over again
  - Francis is more than ready to be a TD. He was very attentive and efficient
- Producers: HwaYoun and Andy
  - Very excited to have sold out two shows
  - Emma is ready to head produce. She is now very informed on the financial side of producing
  - It’s recommended to establish a solid standby system for sold-out shows
  - Producers should always ask the director what they may have in mind for producing. It’s great to be on the same page with the producing vision
  - Producers should absolutely communicate with the TD far ahead of time
  - Still need to do a few SDRs
