Production Meeting Notes, Feb 1

Attending: Chris, Christy, Carl, Lane, Earl, Ananda, and Patrick.

I LOVE YOU BECAUSE
Photo call tonight. Alberto is confirmed. Christy is ordering pizza.

Joshua Saltzman and Ryan Cunningham will be to see the show this weekend, and they will hold an audience talkback after the saturday evening performance. Dave Arisco will moderate.

FACILITY NOTES
Gary is coming into town early, so we need to have the apartment ready by Thursday the 8th. Chris J will pick up the van tomorrow and load out all the stuff left behind by strike crew, and will finish up on Monday. We also need to get the dead fridge out.
That brings up the issue of the Fridge. Past shows, we have pulled the unit from the green room to pu into the apartment, but not only are we using the fridge for the current show, we will need a full size unit for LCAF. We need another refrigerator. Chris J will discuss with Dave to broach the subject with BS.

We need to arrange for a carpet cleaning backstage before the La Cage cast moves in. We also need to remove the carpet outside the wardrobe area.

The hot water heater in the costume shop has stopped working. Chris J has called Kurtz Plumbing. They will be out at some point this week to inspect it, but can't say when.

LA CAGE AUX FOLLES
SETS
Gene says he's looking for drawings for ZaZa's makeup table scene. Mike's last email reads:
"we roll on a dressing table with a see through mirror and rolling racks of clothes and do it DS of the backstage set." Need to schedule a phone conference with Gene, Dave and Mike.

We still need color elevations.

We need larger images of the village and the malachite to send to the printer.

CJ will create the section and distribute copies. Gene is having problems with the plotter at the shop. The plotter is fine, but Windows XP doesn't have drivers for it, and the computer that's running Win98SE is dying. We either need to invest in a newer plotter, or WinLine(univeral software driver that will work on XP).

CJ will also contact Rob Dew about possible sources for plotters and CAD solutions.

CREW
Gene needs help finding 6 carpenter/riggers for ILYB strike and pre-rigging work for LCAF. He is going to send his current list to Chris to prevent needless duplications.

Chris J needs to confirm ASM and wigs with Dave.

AUDIO
Lane will prepare a list of mic needs and have it in to Chris next Wednesday, so we can work out getting spare/replacement heads ordered. DAve and Lane need to decide which mic heads will be used for this show (lav or countryman)
