Welcome!

Welcome to Our Town!

I'm Tracy Clayton, the Producer of Our Town.  I'll be attending rehearsals over the next two or three weeks to distribute the actor contracts Lisa mentioned during the readthrough Wednesday night.  The purpose of the contract is simply to indicate in writing how the HFAC core values apply to you as actors, and what we expect from you from the beginning of rehearsals through the end of strike after the last performance.  I'll also have other information to share regarding discounted tickets for friends and families as well as opportunities for your friends and families to earn free tickets by ushering and providing other services.

This blog will be a key component in the communications process during the production.  You should make a habit of checking it DAILY for updates.  While many things will be communicated during rehearsals, the blog will often be the definitive source of information, especially regarding rehearsal schedule changes, rehearsal room changes and key dates and deadlines.

In case Lisa didn't mention it last night, you are required to notify a member of the production team if you are going to be late or miss a rehearsal for which you are scheduled.  All it takes is a quick phone call or text message, even if you're only going to be a minute or two late.  Unless Lisa has given you alternate instructions, you should typically notify her.

You'll quickly find that our rehearsals start on time and end on time.  That means that you are expected to be in the rehearsal space ready to start at the appointed time.  Please be respectful of your fellow actors and production team by ensuring that you are not the cast member that everyone is always waiting on to arrive.  :-)
