  • Full tech run tonight!!!

  • Off book, working with monologue memorization

  • Have been some issues with tech teams not responding to TD/not coming back with necessary materials in time

  • Natalie will reach out to us if they need any support, TD and ATD are amazing and everyone is supporting each other

    • Will keep us updated on how tonight goes 

Pitching? Fall semester?

  • Decisions: Pitch GM date, what people are pitching for, parameters for those pitches

    • No musicals, asking for flexible contingency plans for virtual possibilities

  • Two regular mainstages or F&F and mainstage

  • Additions to Pitch Form

    • No musicals

    • Team must be prepared to pivot their vision if things go virtual - flexible plans

    • Add a question to the form about how they will ensure their tech vision can function in person or virtually - and how tech will be fully involved

    • No non-BU involvement 

  • F&F Outdoor Festival - everyone is on board!

    • Now we have to secure the space and iron out timing/logistics

    • We will hopefully have clearer answers on that after meeting Dean B this week

      • How long can we have the space? How long will these time slots be?

      • Can we get the space for 2 weeks instead of just 1?

    • Each group would prepare something corresponding to their group

      • Time slots over the weekend, each group would present

      • Each group will have their own pitch process, would be autonomous in their own section of the festival

      • Collaboration would be putting it together as a festival

      • WM and SS have been thinking full plays

      • Issue: tech runs, multiple groups vying for that time

        • Will be good to iron out length beforehand

      • Common theme? Format? - brainstorm about this!

        • Resilience, hope at the end of the tunnel 

        • Isa will bring all of these questions up to Dean B & groups
