Stage Management: Plays & Musicals / Re: WORK/LIFE BALANCE: The breastfeeding/pumping stage manager

One thing I just learned (and this is very US specific) is that part of the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) requires that insurance companies pay for breast pumps.  Your dr needs to write a prescription for it, but other than that it was really easy.  The pumps they pay for are usually similar to the ones in the hospital...

Self-Promotion / Baby!
« on: Dec 05, 2012, 06:41 pm »
No, not the beloved Maltby and Shire musical, but an actual human baby!  My most recent production has been baby Maija Naomi, born 11/11 (early, like every good stage manager).  We are still working out sleeping, etc, although AEA breaks have been a great preparation for the 90 min sleep/eat cycle she seems to be favoring.
I am planning on going back to work in February, and would love any advice that other working mom/SM's might have!

An usher will be positioned directly downstage of the conductor, equipped with a paintball gun, and entitled to shoot upon sight of any cellphone, camera, cameraphone, phonecamera, icameraphone or other similar device.

OMG!!! This is the best idea ever!

Is it cheating (or am I just lucky) that 3 of the shows they asked about ones that I have worked on in the past couple years??

We have used construction grade sheeting before to great success on several shows.  We used something like this http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/AMERICOVER-Construction-Film-6XWY3?Pid=search which was translucent but not 100% clear.  Hope this helps!

Has anyone else used the bars of laundry soap?  I discovered them while traveling internationally (for fun, not for work), and they are amazing.  They don't leak, are small, last forever, and they work in cold water.  I know there are a couple of brands available in the US (fels-naptha, Zote, and an eco-friendly one that I can't remember the name) but it is possible that they are available other places in more common brands.  The kind I have now is Purex, but I bought it in India, so sadly that isn't very helpful...

Unfortunately I don't have any helpful advice since I won't be worrying about this until February, but I just wanted to say that you are not alone in trying to figure out the balance of breastfeeding and SM'ing.  This issue is one of the highest on my list of things to resolve before I go back to work from maternity leave.  Let us know what you figure out! :-)

I usually do minutes and seconds to the closest :15, but occasionally will round to closest :30.  Old habits die hard, I guess... :-)
