“We should strive for solutions where no one on the show is asked to work more than a 10/12 on any given day. One path might be to have more tech notes days (e.g. 1 full day of tech notes for every 2-3 days of rehearsal). On the tech notes days, actors would go back to rehearsal room for acting/blocking notes. Another path is to hire more folx and do split shifts. Another might be hourly pay for everyone.”

“A 10/12 or whatever the tech rehearsal length is easily and normally a 14-16 hour day, and it takes a physical and emotional toll. I’ve had off and on tingling on one of my feet for a few months for being on my feet so much over several weeks of putting in a show. I have a permanent knot in my neck now, and during a few weeks of one tech I could not fully turn my head.”
