so i need some serious help....tonight i had the rehearsal from hell. just to set you up, here's the deal. i'm a bfa sm student at the university of miami and i'm in producing class. the class is taught by broadway producer, barry brown and the purpose of the one year long course is to produce a new musical and everyone in the class has a job. so of course i'm the stage manager and a fellow stage manager (student) is the director. so it's a brand new work and things change, i get that. the book writer, composer, and lyricist wouldn't sit in a room together to work things out so big serious things like entire scenes, songs, and even characters were being argued about and changed in rehearsal in front of the actors, we didn't have an ending till a week ago. so i was out for a week because i was very ill and the director filled in for me bc she is an sm. so i come back a week later to find the show in complete chaos. the actors were getting new complete scripts every night and they were not happy. did i mention they were volunteering all their free time for this show? anyway, the equity deputy (we're not equity but we run by equity rules) came up to me the night i got back and said the cast was extremely unhappy and ready to walk away if something doesn't change, they wanted the script frozen. at this point we tech in two weeks and they reblocked the show 3 times because of all the changes. so we had many meetings with the book writer and composer and lyricist and finally finalized the script, it was completely frozen. then tonight, the director got really frustrated and broke down hysterically crying in front of the cast. She went on and on about how she was sorry she was doing such a bad job and how she didn't know what she was doing and she had no help and no choreographer, and she had to fill in for me, and on and on with excuses. this put the actors in a really awkward position to say the least. then a faculty member came in and took over the show and as of tomorrow is reblocking it again. what happened to frozen you ask? out the window the second the teacher came in...none of the actors are going to turn to the teacher and say no please don't reblock the whole show that we're teching in a week. so i'm this close to walking away from the whole project b/c i don't believe in what the director has done and is doing. I mean what do you think, the cast is about to walk away, we open in 2 weeks, the script and score are supposed to be frozen, and now the teacher is "helping" (completely redoing himself) the entire show. I think it's just not right. what do you think, am i being ridiculous for thinking this is wrong and unprofessional to keep changing after the freeze date when we open in 2 weeks and the actors are unhappy?
