Show Check Outs

If/Then

Directors: Evan P and Carrie W
- Carrie
  - If/Then was an ambitious jump into directing for me, but I have definitely learned valuable lessons for if I direct again in the future.
  - Very proud of what the entire team has accomplished and thankful for everyone’s hard work.
  - For future directors:
    - Get an MD from the get-go who is committed to seeing the show through
    - Choose a show with a small pit so you don’t have to wrangle a pit split between backstage and the green room
    - Communicate, communicate, communicate, ESPECIALLY if you are co/assistant directing.
    - Be flexible and be kind to everyone that you’re working with, since you’re all working TOGETHER to put on the show.
  - Evan
    - Thank you to everyone involved with If/Then! While the show never got to see the stage, the experience of working on this show was beyond fulfilling.
    - For future directors
      - Consider an anonymous feedback form more frequently for cast members. We decided to do it the week before break and we already started to implement new things the days leading up to spring break. We started office hours for the cast to learn choreo, music, and review scenes and it was well received
      - Do a non-Stage Troupe event cast/crew bonding early on
      - Don't be afraid to have multiple rehearsals happening at the same time. We did this more towards the last few weeks before break but we would simultaneously run music rehearsals with scene rehearsals happening in another room. Especially when a show is on the longer side, we found this not only insanely productive, but the actors did too
      - Send schedules out long in advance: One of the things we would do is send a multiple week schedule out after having the cast fill out their conflict google spreadsheets and lock them down. This provided the cast with the ability to plan in advance
      - Do character workshops by reading through with an actor their entire part and create a backstory! Made a world of difference with so many of our leads!
TD: Katie G
- If/Then was an amazing experience, however short it might have been
- Learned so much from everyone involved, like my team and Zach and also Sarah and Priya
- Both my ATDs would be great TDs in the future if they want to (and I hope they do!)
- All my department heads were so amazing and adaptive to our changing situation, and I'm very grateful that everyone was open to the changing context of the show and virtual tech week and everything.
- Advice I would give to future TDs is to not be afraid to ask others for help when you need it and to stay on top of organization.
- Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity, I learned a lot and I hope I helped others as well
SM: Katie H
- Although I am very sad that If/Then never got to see the stage, I am still grateful for the opportunity to have been the SM for it
- Our cast was amazing and the creative team was lovely to work with
- Advice for future SMs:
  - If you are tired and feeling burnt out, take the night off. The production can handle a rehearsal without you
  - Do not be afraid to speak up when it comes to people not filling out forms! A lot of the time people forget and reminders are important.
  - Don't be afraid to join in for warm-ups or discussions with the director! You're an integral member of both the tech team and the creative team!
