a box of golf pencils is a good way to have abunch around that you don't care about ('cause you'd never use them) so you don't feel the need to 'rent' your stash...

That is an great idea.  You can also customize them at this website:http://www.inkhead.com/laxc_230-p_1-promotional-items.html?reftypeid=5&gclid=COH959GYjooCFQJpNAodlCesQg. 

This way your actors will always remember you!

after being in a similar spot-

I used the building security personal at all dressing room/stage doors.  They had direct instructions not to let anyone unless they had a wrist strap (they kind they used at clubs).  I had different colors for my vols. depending on what they were doing.  The the start and ending of each night they check in and presented a photo ID and sign in, and when they signed out, we removed the band, so they could not "pass it off".


They system worked well, a bit "over the top" as one parent stated, but its for the kids, and my, security and legal safety.
