The very first official meeting of the brand spanking new Committee of 7 will take place at 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday afternoon. If you have not been notified --and I think you have-- you should plan to attend.
The Committee of 7 is a student group we created in the spring to help manage all elements of technical theatre and support areas for the theatre productuions during the school year. It is an innovative way to get more studetns invovled in the decision-making process and to help train student leaders now and into the future. My expectation is that studetns will take more ownership in their productions if they serve a more direct purpose in its planning and execution from a technical perspective.
Students fill the various chairs and oversee and lead their own departments. The are chairs for Lights, Sound, Props, and Stage Managers, for example, as well as a postion of house manager, publicity manager, auditions manager, and a shop foreman. I expect that a meeting will be held of the stage crew in the opening weeks of the school year so that all interested parties will know what is going on.
My expectation is that one or more of these chairs (or managers) will blog here, too, so that we can keep even more people informed of our activities as time passes.
