4. Communication
Creating a theatre show is a team effort. It is imperative that you are in constant communication with the other members of your team. Make sure you are open about any problems you are having, or difficulties with scheduling.
As the Hayman Theatre is a shared venue, you will need to be in communication with the director, stage manager and crew of other shows, particularly the ones before and after yours.
If you change, break or move someone else’s set, props, costumes, or technical elements, tell them immediately. A friendly conversation now could save an angry conversation later.
If you are refocusing or removing lights, make sure to first check with the crew of the relevant show. This process will be assisted by a complete bump-out.
