The Hardline / Are performance reports actually required by AEA?
« on: Jun 11, 2007, 06:37 pm »
Feel free to move this if it is the wrong area.
I am a resident Equity SM with an SPT in NEAT (Long name for a Boston area SPT). I am a professional. I enjoy not working in non-professional situations (I have never worked in community theatre and admire those who do, but just couldn't do it myself).
After a very long season (but it is my 4th season and I am not complaining)
I have realized I have written my 160th performance report. 6 shows a week, 5 weeks per show, 5 shows a season (a few more at christmas and student mat perfs).
This doesn't count rehearsal reports which I understand the level of communication tracking that occurs, but
What the heck-are these things required---and if so where is it written in the rulebook cause I can't find it--
Besides the pretty paperwork, they are great for keeping tabs on the production, tracking running times, unusual occurences and other oddities (like every Saturday preview for the last 3 years is a really reactive audience)
but seriously, are these things required, or is it just for recording purposes?
