Possibly Stupid NYMF Question
« on: Aug 08, 2008, 01:54 pm »
Small NYMF crisis impending, and I'm trying to do everything in my power to prevent it...and move out of my apt at the same time. UGH.Small NYMF crisis impending, and I'm trying to do everything in my power to prevent it...and move out of my apt at the same time. UGH.

I know that for a regular showcase you do not need an AEA stage management team. Is this true with NYMF as well? I'm in the rulebook and it just says that you need an SM and ASM, and I don't know if the union requirement is implied b/c it's an AEA rulebook or if it just means that the production needs one of each.

Companions whom I loved and still love, tell them my song.

For those of us newer to SMing... what does NYMF stand for?   
I stage manage, therefore I am.

It's actually the New York Musical Theatre Festival.

MITF is the Midtown International Theatre Festvial.

Fringe is Fringe.

Are there any other abbreviated festivals that I'm missing?

I don't think you need a union ASM or SM - it is just like a regular showcase except that NYMF has a few special rules.  Mostly about publicity if I remember correctly.

No. Doesn't have to be an equity SM. I'm 100% certain.
