I have had the chance to observe a few of these folks calling/running shows - that's quite a line-up!

calling - esp complex shows - could be an issue, if your stutter gets worse under pressure, but often singing things helps, so try calling on a single tone and see if that helps!

The Hardline / Re: Calling all SPT stage managers
« on: Jan 26, 2015, 12:50 pm »
UPDATE: this is coming up for discussion one more time - and those of us who did the research and collected the experiences and notes have suggested we present an option for "on a single contract" or "on consecutive contracts" to replace "in a season."

If anyone has any updated info - work lost, comments made etc, please PM me privately for any info to add to my report. Having no issues is also a valid response. And, let me know if I have your permission to use your name, or the theater's name, in the presentation.

Thank you! And of course, asap if possible.

Stage Management: Other / Re: Help Organizing costumes...
« on: Jan 26, 2015, 12:38 pm »
Deferring to the ballet folks. but is the company manager or sm are supposed to even deal with this? But I'd do a spread sheet with shows along one side and costumes across the other, and do a line by line listing of what is in which shows. Then, I'd store them by show, but have a separate, well-labeled rack with easy access (or in front) for the ones used multiple times. You shd be able to get an intern or wardrobe person to help w that, too......

uncool as FB theoretically is, I have young cast members who check their FB status before email, phone, text or anything else. So it has become a communication tool to reach them quickly. Not an option on tumblr plus, well, too many platforms! I don't want to add yet another!

I think this was a badly matched pair. Email yes. Webmail - sucks the big one. But AEA docs only work on AEA shows. So it's a tie for who's not useless!

December Madness 2 / Re: SOFTWARE: Word vs Web Browser
« on: Dec 02, 2014, 09:34 pm »
I have to go with Word. Cuz I work in small companies that have older (donated) computers or luddites in the office. So, Word means they can open, interact and print easily. Anything else is way, way beyond their ken.
