My first production meeting as Associate Producer went swimmingly. It was all about making cuts to the script, because if we left it as is, the show would be over two and a half hours long...and nobody really wants to sit through something that long, no matter how spectacular it is. We went through the script and decided what lines we could afford to cut. At the same time, we identified some group numbers that could be split up into solos in order to give more kids the chance to stand out on stage. Ms. Miller showed me how to deposit a check to the front office, so now I'll be able to do that on my own as the students' checks for materials/snack expenses keep coming in! On the agenda for now is to start putting the playbill together, wait for the musical director and choreographer to sign their contracts so that we can pay them their first stipend, and keep collecting the kids' forms and money!
