    performance, and you have been tasked with leading a quick orientation. In addition to explaining all of the
    dangers of site-specific theatre (heat, rain, bugs, audience members? ), you will be explaining how your kit and
    other tools have been prepped for the site-specific theatre experience to your ASM s. What have you done to
    prepare?

    1. Audience
    2. Weather Conditions

    N o show. It is too
    dangerous for all
    involved

    T he location is more than


    likely to be filled with people that
    may be disruptive to a performance. U se
    your best judgement to see whether or not
    they interfere with the integrity of the
    show. Sometimes actors may incorporate
    them into the action. If not, you may
    need to use external forces in order to
    keep a peaceful environment.

    M ust bear in mind


    the weight of a set and how
    long it will take to put together/
    take apart to factor into
    schedule.

    It is hard to determine whether it


    will stop or continue. T he shorter
    the show or the lighter the
    equipment = T he better

    General rule: T he show must go


    on in any weather unless it interferes
    with cast or crew health and safety. OR
    the audience becomes disheartened
    and leaves

    Your kit must be prepared for


    what the site needs along with the
    general supplies of what would be
    necessary for main house

    It is your
    responsibility - once in
    the site, to report any
    mishaps/damages/ or
    additional requests
