When discussions with people at regional theatres start to address eliminating 10 out of 12 technical rehearsals and six day workweeks, the number one question is “How?” This panel included five different leaders of regional theatres, of various sizes, speaking specifically about how and why they’re doing it. In case you missed it, or would like to rewatch it, here is the video of that session:
The presenters included: Janet Allen – Artistic Director, Indiana Repertory Theatre; Alys Holden – Director of Production, Oregon Shakespeare Festival; Ken-Matt Martin – Artistic Director, Victory Gardens Theatre; and Michael Locher – Director of Design, Alley Theatre; and Danielle Paccione, Production Manager, The Studio Theatre at Tierra del Sol.
