To All LORT AEA SM's,
What would you do IF:
At the end of the last day of the rehearsal week, on Sunday night, the director turned to you and said he would e-mail the schedule for Tuesday's rehearsal to you on Monday, your only day off. (He does not say when he'll send it, just "when it is ready," meaning one would have to wait around for receipt of said schedule, on the theatre's e-mail system, on the day off.)
AND the theatre requires e-mailed schedules to go out to the artistic team and office staff, hard copy schedules to be posted in several locations around the theatre, hard copy schedules in several "high-level" staff mailboxes (they don't want e-mails), and a "Hotline" voice mail, of course, recorded for the cast who is supposed to have at least 12 hour notice of the next rehearsal call.
When the director is adamant that he will not be pressured, when you've just finished your 52 hour tech. week and need the entire day off, and when the cast needs to know the schedule by Monday night,
What would YOU do?
(By the way, this is a resolved situation, so I don't need immdiate assistance. I'm just interested in your takes on the matter)
