Things you should make sure you tell people at Read-ThroughEnsemble Guidelines.docx9 Ways to Be a Better Actor.pdf
- Conflict policy: You must notify the SM of your conflicts before they make the schedule.
- Tech week conflicts are not a thing. You should be at all tech week rehearsals. You should be skipping classes. You should be getting out of tests. If this is an issue, you should make it clear now
- Lateness policy: Tell people what your lateness policy is, and then stick to it.
- The ensemble runs on real time. Call at 8pm means that you're there and ready to go at 8pm, not that you're walking in the door at 8:05.
- Notify the SM of the day if you're running late
- give everyone the web address for Callboard.
- give everyone the e-mail address for the SM list (emphasize that this should be the address they e-mail, not the SM's personal e-mail)
- the 15 hour per week policy: Make sure to tell the SM if you've been scheduled for more than this limit
- remind people when off book date is and encourage them to work on lines before then
