The difference between 1/2 cup of rice and 1 cup of rice is like 18 cups of rice

[disenfranchisedchads]

Half a cup of rice: Yeah, I can eat this. Maybe have some leftover

One cup of rice: I can feed an entire town for months. The rice will taunt me in my sleep, forcing itself into every niche of life it can. There is only rice, now and forever.

An actor doesn’t open the email with his call time on it...

He ends up being an hour late to rehearsal.

Him: I just assume that it’s the same as on the schedule.

Rule #22: Always check your call time for the next day.

[themirrorkeeper]

Rule 23# Actually call the actor. And text them. 

[stagemanagerssaygo]

The last time I had to call an actor for his call time was 1998. So, no.

After rehearsal ends at 10pm and you don’t finish with everything else until 10:45pm at best and it’s a large cast of 30 actors plus directors, choreographers, and accompanist, not to mention producers and production that need to know the rehearsal schedule, then no - you tell the cast of 30 at the first rehearsal to check their email every day and open every email. Not only will it likely have their personal call time for rehearsal, but for fittings, promotional events, and other production info they need to read.

Plus, if a director sees that an actor is late, the first thing he’s going to ask me is, “Did you email him his call?” to which I’ll say yes. His next question to me isn’t going to be, “Didn’t you also call and text him his call?” It’s going to be for the actor asking him, “Why didn’t you check your email?”

Your responsibility is to give everyone access to timely and accurate information. It is not your responsibility to make actors give up their accountability.
