Claire

this week, i met with claire, priya, rayna, and katie to discuss the joint wood order with the wolves. i then reached out to liv to get that process started.
i sent out an email to the cast and crew regarding our photoshoot on saturday, where we will take promo pics and headshots for both cast members and techies.
i wanted my APs to enjoy their spring break so we haven’t started our big social media push, but that is set to happen by this Wednesday. We already have some fun ideas in mind.
also, do we have the eventbrite link yet? the sooner i can get ahold of that, the better.
Guin

Diving into blocking this week!
Actors are getting along really well which is wonderful
Hopefully blocking is a smooth process, I’m dealing with a major scheduling issue in these next few weeks (yay sot) so I’m hoping we can get a lot done this week
Meeting with the creative team on wednesday to check in and plan logistics for coming events! Photoshoot, bonding, etc!

Mask Policy Chat
Siena:
While we can no longer enforce mask wearing, if we keep it as an expectation it’s likely people will continue to follow
Meetings and rehearsals should continue to be masked
In rehearsal rooms, it’s up to the director's discretion. If the rehearsal is strategically placed and everyone is negative, it’s their choice.
Emma:
More comfortable being around masked people, but unmasking for certain scene rehearsals does make sense
Already in low-ventilated areas, sipping water, etc
Julia:
On the same page as emma
What about masking audience members?
Can no longer require it :/
Steve:
Can no longer require, same with Tsai, Booth, and Wheelock Family Theater
Siena:
Fully agree with Emma and Julia, “strategically placed” maskless rehearsals will be beneficial
Emma:
Does the backstage masking rule still apply?
Maybe not in the wings, but yes in the green room?
People have mixed up masks before and that’s icky lol
Funding for replacement tech
Do we have a fund for replacement tech? Can we create one from rental money?
We once again have a list of things that need replacing
Liv can set up a fund for this :)
~home depot~
