Your Schedule and Conflicts

TheatreMidwest is a professional theatre company, and maintains that environment throughout the process. All company members are expected to attend all rehearsals, events, meetings, for which they are called. This could include (but is not limited to): work calls/load-ins, strike, photo shoots, PR events, costume fittings, or other business. Therefore it is important that you accurately record all conflicts in the space provided. Casting, assignments, and scheduling will be done based on these conflicts.

Dates, times, nature of conflicting events that occur between OCTOBER 15 AND FEBRUARY 15 that would affect your participation in these shows. (travel, concerts, etc.) --->>>>>

Regularly occurring conflicts--work, class, etc.

Your equipment

Coming out of our first season of online theatre-making, we know that the following items are of importance to the success of the process and the product. We also know that an hours-long rehearsal that involves much talking/dynamic sound and video action takes a much greater toll on one's equipment than a short (or even series of short) meetings or chats-with-friends. We have no expectations that you are an IT guru (although it's fine if you are!) None of us are, either. We collect this information so that, if or when necessary, we can have efficient communication about some potential options if your machine or set-up goes awry during the process. And it's almost certain that everyone's will at some point (alas).

For better and for worse, this is the way-we-live-now in the theatre, so we kindly ask you to please respond to everything below that you know something about. Just as "hair color" or "vocal range" or "height" can be factors in casting, so are these items, (for now.)

Please feel free to use the "Other Comments about Equipment?" question at the bottom of this section for any further explanations, things you aren't sure about, etc.
