Your crew grade will be determined by a review of your performance as a member of the stage management team. This review will be performed by yourself, your supervisors, and the other members of the production team with whom you work. The criteria of this evaluation will be the characteristics of a good stage manager as discussed in class. The Department of Theatre Arts attendance policy is clear and unambiguous, but it will be reiterated here in order to avoid confusion and preempt complaint. Exceptions to this policy will be so rare as to be considered non-existent.
Punctuality is a critical characteristic of a good stage manager.
Being late for anything undermines effective stage management at the most fundamental level. Train yourself to be on time and prepared. Unexcused absences and lateness for crew calls are certain to have a negative effect on your evaluations, and are the single easiest way to undermine your effectiveness as a stage manager.
