Tech Crew Feedback

  • Don’t need the full normal budget for virtual shows

  • Tech Week - condensed into a day or two before the show

    • People prefer to have a full week, so they feel more connected to the show, meet the cast, have some more time to work things out, etc

    • Not sure how to separate between BU/non-BU

Budgeting

  • Gorges Motel 

    • A little bit of a budget for Goodwill stuff

    • Something small for the light show at the end of the play
