If you have a complaint, query, suggestion or rant, please bring it here. This is not designed to be the Nativity equivalent of Hell, but a useful resource for cast members to be able to air issues regarding their employment in this theatre.

I believe the Equity Deputy Dawg will answer your queries as and when she can be bothered.

It is also the place to view stats and data pertaining to the Play. Although what data that will be we have no idea...

Thanks.

Deputy report:

Auditions - 74 auditioned; 55 known to be cast as of this writing (ie, I have their sock names and numbers); 16 additional sock numbers may be in use (and The Spreadsheet will be updated as I see them on cast list thread). No EEO data available.

A rehearsal call was held 8 December at around 3:00 pm EST at the cafe. It apparently lasted about 45 seconds and covered 1/3 of one scene. An estimated 6 cast members were present, supervised by the Music Director.

No accidents reported; no firearms use

Mr. Lowly Shepherd says I'm not allowed to stay up and play this evening, as I've been working far too hard wool-gathering today.

I think I'll just have to take my knitting off to the sheep-pen and catch up with proceedings tomorrow.

If by chance a heavenly host passes by, you will wake me up, won't you? Ooops (drops a stitch)

Equity Director: what on earth is it with Gift of blimmin' Gold? She's not even due to appear onstage until Scene 11, but already she's [checks transcript, turns purple] waltzing Mary around the stage??? I mean, for crying out loud, she's just meant to be a tin pot with gold foil wrapped round it, with minimal lines. I must protest most protestfully. Can you look up the index of Equity Rules, you'll find something under "primadonnas".

I was assigned two Stage Helpers, only one of which is supposed to be Invisible. Where are any Stage Hands?

I have an insane Stable Cat (not needed til at least Scene 8) running amok clawing cast embers to shreds! I'm having to fill in for the missing First-aider and I'm running out of Mr Men plasters.

Now, Mary is speaking of mistletoe onstage and there's no one to dispatch to go search for any. [Waterworks]

Gift of Gold I might be (and a very expensive one at that... tin pot indeed). I'm also a dancer - to give artistic interpretation to the proceedings and to fill gaps when Gabriel doesn't turn up. Have you something against feather boas?

Equity Deputy,
I have a problem with how this play is being directed. I'm getting absolutely no direction on lights and sound. I just took the initiative to turn Elizabeth's mike down (waaaaaaay down... before we had to listen to any more of her drunken aria)... If I am expected to make technical decisions without direction, I want an increase in pay!

It's been brought to my attention that there are a few union/ non union members who are being a bit careless with their profiles. In the hurry to register I think people have not considered what they would like the rest of us to know.

If I may take the liberty from the MD and D to say that by the end of the 14 day performance we might be able to make a full birthday list and e mail address list. [Eek!] This could be a good thing (we can send you a e birthday card) but perhaps if you wish to keep up the pretence of being older or younger (in my case! [Wink] ) than you are and not having random fan mail, I think everyone would do well to check their profile and ammend accordingly.

Gold - who has her uses. Making things out of Quorn is one of them!

Small problem here. I shall be busy being the mother of another small boy in a nativity play on Thursday, and then diverting my journey to Bethlehem via Cubs and Sainsbury's on Friday, which might hold things up a bit. You will just have to busk a bit till I get home, which will probably be about 9pm our time. [Big Grin] Oh, it's nice being indispensible! [Big Grin]

Notice from the Deputy:

Some of The Cast have announced that they have Conflicts(1). Please note that Mrs Tubbs has graciously offered to be Understudy. Also, in the spirit that there are no small parts, only small actors, some of the 'secondary' cast have been *quite* forward [that lump of gold seems to be everywhere :-)]. Please take advantage of the call board to sort everything out.

(1) NB - 'Conflicts' refers only to schedules - any other conflicts Are Not My Job - I'm the Deputy, not the Sargent-at-Arms.

Right, I have a major breach of contract issue for the union.

Firstly, the hours of work were changed without sufficient notice - one day, scenes were going on until 2000 GMT, the next (without any warning) it was to be 1200 GMT. Who lets management get away with this? Taking hours off us and expecting us to turn up for our scenes hours before we expected to...

And then, when I do arrive for my scene (limited by office working hours), I find that some *!$%!*$ has taken the kings/wise men by bus rather than camels - the camels my character was meant to supply. They're not very wise if they trust that old charabanc to get them further than the end of the road - and what will these camels do now?? I've a good mind to send the bill direct to the tour manager, accompanied by a horse's head to remind him what happens to people who upset the Camel Teamsters [Big Grin]

Grateful if the Equity Deputy could urgently investigate this sad state of affairs

RE: Reschedulementisation of Scenes
Date: 12th March 1BC 13:36

Dear Camel Driver,

Ppprrrrssssspppppssssss!

Yours faithfully,

Management, The

End Memo

PS About the bus/camel thing, maybe it would be best if you followed them at a discreet distance. Who knows when some little accident may happen to their vehicle and you have to step in as a hero and save the day ... catch my drift? On another entirely unconnected subject, that book you ordered 'How To Disable And Icapacitate Vehicles In 10 Easy Steps' has just arrived in reception for you.

What's with all these sheep - I think that they need rounded up - I keep trying but to no avail. I would like a proper sheep pen. At least we have an imaginary sheep-dog.

From what I can tell, the Understudy's role (apart from "helping" with the scenery is to do all the jobs that no one else wants to). I'll go and build you one ... back in mo'

Took some time to celebrate
Just one day out of life
It would be, it would be so nice

Re: back injuries

If anyone does their back in, I can recommend a good chiropractor. Other than that, please be careful or I'll do my back in trying to get you lot back into shape! [Roll Eyes]

Brilliant! [Not worthy!] Maybe you could fill in as "real sheepdog" for a while to help us get these pesky sheep settled before someone gets eaten

Sheep 3 enters with burns to the mouth, seeking first aid and a lawsuit.

Hey, she told me it was a TV signal cable -- they're low voltage, low amp. How the hell was I supposed to know it was the power cord to a radio!

CAN I HAVE SOME MEDICAL ATTENTION HERE!
