I do wish I had been just a bit more prepared, as I really should have had the Equity info printed out for the 5 Equity (and ACTRA) members to sign last night. I've been meaning to deal with this, but the form was lost in a deep email chain, and I have been so busy (including being behind on some work work). I'm pretty sure as long as I drop this off with Equity (with the cheque* to cover insurance!) they will overlook this, or in the worst case I can get the signatures before the show on Thurs. (I did get the cast to sign one of the big posters, as discussed here.)
I also got everyone to sign off on their bios in the program, so I will run a bunch of those off, as well as one more round of postcards from the printer. If I had had them ready, I could have done a bit of a folding party last night at my place. Oh well. It would have been premature in case someone needed any rewrites; then I would have had to reprint the programs.
Anyway, the cast came by and we did two more run-throughs of just the lines. I don't think it was a mistake doing this, though a few of them found it hard to do their lines without all the blocking and the set, etc., since it is all tied together in their mind now. I'm actually at the point where I don't need to hear the play again; I need to see how outsiders react to it, which is why Thurs. and Sat. will be so exciting and terrifying. (Tickets here!)
The lanyards still haven't come in, which is annoying, though I worked pretty late on Monday anyway, which would have made it hard to break and mosey on over to Fringe HQ. I sure hope they are in soon, though I am not sure if there will be a way to get them on Wed. (Canada Day!) if they aren't in today. I'm not even sure how I would pick them up today, though maybe if I took the Queen streetcar over, then I could hit Equity as well. That's probably not a terrible plan... But it does depend a great deal on when the lanyards actually come in.
Our t-shirts came in and look quite snazzy. (They do run a bit small, which I was pretty sure would be the case.)
I'm off to Tarragon this evening to see two improv shows, so I will wear the t-shirt and hand out some of the remaining postcards while I am there. Two birds with one stone, as it were...
* Between the extra fees and more postcards and covering part of the cast t-shirts, we are back in the red (appropriate given the t-shirts, I guess). I'm not sure I really want to know how many tickets we would need to sell to cover everything. Maybe 500 or 600. Probably even more than that now that I think about it. But we are at 150 sold, and the Fringe is just starting, and I'm actually hoping for pretty good word of mouth, so here's hoping...
