Questions about this:
What is the cost per ticket? 
Does this require assigned seating?
What about reserving rows?
How would we sell Family passes, discounted tix?
What about cash sales?
How does this affect Will Call?]]> 2019-04-26 12:37:47 UTC https://padlet.com/justin_callahan/b8wp1wdpxc4f/wish/354423991 justin_callahan https://padlet.com/justin_callahan/b8wp1wdpxc4f/wish/354424220 Update Audition form to include a section which asks for students:

Contracts should be revised before the end of this year, so those individuals commiting to the production next year, know the expectations before signing on.  Contracts should be due sometime in November?  Are there also contracts for the costumer, lighting designer, and set designer?

While this does free some directors of responsibility, is this not something we should do together as a team? And if we like the freedom and streamline, then those decisions and delegations need to be a part of a schedule that is determined when the director is signing their contract, or at least should be decided before auditions take place.
