First Production Meeting
How it works
Your vision starts with a production meeting via skype, email or telephone. This meeting establishes production limitations (stage, costumes, lighting, sound), establishes performance approach (musical, theatrical, or both), establishes set-design, establishes contact-time for classes/tutoring, and establishes contractual requirements.


After the production meetings, students must be available for rehearsal and technical lab, for two (2) hours per day for three weeks.
