The Hardline / Re: PROFESSIONALISM: Is the Audience allowed to see the Dressing rooms?

I'd presume you have a Deputy. Are they aware of these plans? You have Equity behind you for interpretations of the rules. If it moves forward, I'd inform the deputy and ask for an interpretation from Equity so there is no confusion, ifs ands or buts.
You got my brain working...... Wonder if the LD is aware of the extra spaces they need to light now. Props people too. I'd also point out there is a vast difference between staging a dressing room you expect them to use in a deconstructed manner vs. the actual dressing room. If they had a safe and secure dressing room and we're blocked to go into the onstage one at certain times then it's completely controlled. No actor should have to be onstage in their green room.
What if they need to scratch??!!
All of that and more comes up as potential problems the longer I think about this.
The reality is that its against equity rules- no matter how many times the scenic designer says "But noting is going to go wrong- they won't need the dressing rooms!" Thats not how theatre works and that is not the way this show will run.
There is a production meeting Friday. I will let you know what the outcome is! Thanks for assuring me of my sanity!
