The Hardline / AEA MAternity Leave
« on: Aug 24, 2011, 10:11 am »
Is anyone else concerned that the words 'maternity leave' do not appear anywhere in the AEA handbooks? I'm doing some research and the only thing  I can find even vaguely applicable is sick leave. Not exactly the same thing.

Surely after 4 years working close to 50 weeks a year for the same company I'm entitled to some kind of maternity leave? I will be calling my Business Rep to find out the real skinny! I can't possibly be the 1st AEA SM who wants to have a baby?!



 :P

Do you keep copies of the reports you or the Deputy file with AEA?

The Hardline / AEA ASM?
« on: Mar 20, 2011, 01:11 pm »
SO~ Regional SM's -- what's your feeling on the requirement of an AEA ASM? I live in a state where as far as I know there are only a 1/2 dozen AEA stage managers.... and yet I'm required by the union to have an AEA ASM for any musical or show with a cast greater than 10.... HMMMMM.....

Which means my producer either has to

A. essentially give someone a card- usually someone who is NOT READY

B. hire a working out of town AEA ASM & house them & pay our of town salary

C. hire an AEA ACTOR as my ASM

To play devils advocate for a moment- it seems to me that the ability to hire 2 PA's - experienced stage managers or stage management majors (we have 2 BFA SM programs and 1 MFA SM locally) is far more helpful to the AEA SM, and the production, than to hire an AEA actor as the ASM.... no?

Employment / Getting Jobs & Leaving Jobs
« on: Jul 30, 2007, 10:03 am »
Quick announcement:

I will be leaving the Alabama Ballet as Company Manager & Principal Stage Manager at the end of this month in order to accept the position of Production Stage Manager at the Human Race Theater in Dayton, Ohio.

I am very excited about this move and the oppurtunity to return to theater (and Dayton, where I went to college, and the Human Race where I worked during college, and Ohio where my family lives!)

Sadly- I have to leave the Alabama Ballet (my home for the past 7 years) in order to accept this position.

Anybody have any advice on how to make a clean break from an institution without offending anyone?
