What do I need to include in a theatre tech manual?
Hello, I am the director of a non-profit performing arts group. We have a live band, singers & dancers. Approx cast is 60 people. This will be our 4th major performance. We are going to a professional theatre & will have union workers. In the past I've always just created a manual that had, the mood I was looking for for each number as far as lighting, what types of mics are needed for each number, and a copy of what the staging layout will be. My question is, since we're going to be using professionals this year, am I missing anything major out of this packet of info I need to provide? We're non-profit are really having problems securing funds so I can't hire out. Any help would be SO APPRECIATED! Thanks!
Try contacting your local AEA office (Actor's Equity Association)... they are the union for professional actors and stage managers. Also, here's a link to some technical theatre websites, unions, and publications where you may find more information. Break a leg!
