Tools of the Trade / Flashlights?
« on: Oct 13, 2009, 08:00 pm »
Hey
In my theater (high school level) we gave the crew mini mag-lights for each show. (we had a total of two shows that required a large enough crew to give out the lights)
Anyways, by the end of the second show, out stock of flashlights had gone down from 12 to 2 from two breaking, several getting lost, being used as improv tools by bored actors, and, just a guess, crew members thinking they could keep the flashlights.
I am now thinking of investing in my own flashlight and was wondering if there were any suggestions. Also, if anybody had any suggestions for the theatre itself to replenish the stockpile (probably to only 6 ish this time) and any good systems they may have about holding on to them for longer.
thanks,
Matt
