18 Run of the Show Beginning with opening night, the production is the responsibility of the company. The stage manager has the final authority to make all decisions concerning the running of the show and all crew heads should report directly to the stage manager. It is the responsibility of the company to maintain the production as the director left it opening night. The stage Manager, in the director's absence, may give notes to the cast and crews. These should be treated as notes from the director.
Forms are available in the production office.
Each Chicago Playworks production usually runs 8 - 10 weeks. The runs of Workshops are not otherwise extended for any reason. The cast and crew must be given at least one week notice prior to an extra performance. Notice must be posted on the theatre call board. A two week notice shall be required for any matinee or morning performance, which is not in the regular season as outlined in the production calendar.
