F&F Updates

  • We’re 95% sure that it’s gonna be in the student theater at this point

  • Siena’s gonna meet with Dean B. on Wednesday to talk more about it

  • Katie figured out schedule for prolonged build/tech week process with all of the groups - build week is gonna be earlier than normal, and gonna extend offer to start rehearsing in theater to the 13th

  • Non BU people can attend the show - regulation is up to us (family and friends will be able to attend the Family and Friends show)


TA Meeting Recap from Katie!

  • Figured out process for build/tech week for F&F - moved building to the week before the original build week (Oct. 4th - 8th, 12th to 15th will be painting stuff)

  • Set move-in on the 17th, “real” tech week will be that week, and then a smaller tech week a week before the show

  • Other TAs agreed to the proposed ideas very quickly :)

  • ASM for she kills is also SMing for another show but like not really?


Prop Permits?

  • For gun yes, for swords - probably fine as long as it’s dealt with responsibly

  • Wandering Minds is not cross checking their list of people for various (somewhat frustrating) reasons

  • WM is writing in person, ours are writing on Zoom, other groups don’t know yet

  • Emma will be in student theater all day, Katie will be in space all day
