LA 99-seat question (tech)

[Michael]

I'm working on a 99-seat plan show right now (with Extended Rehearsal and Performance). Tech is coming up and my Production Manager mentioned that we have more hours available for rehearsal during tech, what with the actors just "standing around being lit." I've read the plan (and read it again) and I can find nothing of the sort.

Help? Thanks in advance!

I could be misremembering, but I seem to recall that the most common misconception is that there is NOT a provision for 10/12 in the 99-seat plan - and beyond that, the PM shd know that tech rehearsal is NOT rehearsal time for the actors "standing around being lit" but rehearsal for the crew and stage management, a time to solve the technical issues and practice them so the show runs smoothly, so it sounds as if a little gentle education is in order.

Rehearsal hours under the 99 Seat Plan are limited to 8 hours per day, 36 hours per week.

Thank you both. I was sure I hadn't missed it (reading the plan twice!) but it's good to hear from an authority.
