SAFETY: reporting incidents
« on: Jun 23, 2019, 02:05 am »
Tonight our PA had a minor medical issue that required sending him home and having someone who knew the show take his place. He has a small speaking part as well as run crew duties in the show. I felt unsure how to note this in my report tonight so I didn't divulge any sensitive information or alarm anyone. I ended up reporting it like I would an understudy stepping in by simply saying that X person went on for Y person tonight.

Curious if this is how others would do this or if you have any other insight into this.

The only additional thing I would do is send a private email to "the powers that be," with a fuller explanation.
