Hello all,
To make a long story short, I'm working at a summer stock that doesn't have a PM, so I've been taking on some PM responsibilities.
We have a copious amount of filing cabinets in the booth, and when I arrived, there was nothing in them, and it was hard for me to create a schedule and a base for things because there was nothing to go off of, and just about everyone here was new.
SO, I'd like to set up a system so that PSMs here in the future can look back and see how the schedule was structured, and documentation for past years.
Aside from leaving my prompt books in the cabinets at the end of the season, I've also set aside folders for this season's performance reports, and an attendance folder, which will contain the sign in sheets and an end-of season attendance report.
My hope is that PSMs here in the future can compare the Daily Calls with the many versions of the full production calendar, and the attendance reports, so that they can see how we worked out the rehearsal process, the promo events, and the other shows in the other space.
Any thoughts on things that I should leave to be filed? Or other ways to allow future PSMs to access my books and notes?
Just wondering what this looked like for you guys and what tips you had.
