We just had our meeting with the folks who do the annual local Nutcracker and my boss is right.  Its going to be one of the easiest local production of the season to do - from our point of view.  They have their schedule down, know what they want and when, its going to be great.  Unlike the tour that's rehearsing here now - their schedule changes by the hour and then still is wrong!

Ahh....I am on page 4 of my 6 page production schedule!  (and that's the one for dancers....the one for production staff was 8 pages long...) 

the end is near, it is very near...

Stage managing is getting to do everything your mom told you not to do - read in the dark, sit too close to the TV, and play with the light switches!

ah... Company Class at 12:45, House Opens 2:30pm, Curtain at 3:00m and Bows at 5:04ish....

I believe what I'm trying to say is: Neener, neener, neener... I'm closer to the end than you are!  ;D ;D ;D

And enjoy your final shows!

Happy End of Nutcacker!

How long is your company class?  How are you able to do class that close to curtain?  Do you not do a sweep and mop b/w class and half hour?

We've got...wednesday night, 2 thursday, 2 friday, 2 saturday, load out, two weeks off (at least for me and the professionals.  the rest of the office staff staff and the school is back on Jan. 2)

1 1/2 hours ish company class on performance days we end class about 10 minutes before the House Opens. Just enough time to brush up whatever needs rehearsed and sweep downstage of the curtain.

Company Class is 1hr 45min when not in performance.

We cut it pretty close, but we just do a sweep- no mop. One mop per performance week- and that happens before class. The TD of the space does it so as to inconveinience me the least. He's the grooviest!

I once worked for a comapny that had studios in the same bldg as the perf. venue- no class onstage ever! It was so nice...
