Minutes 13th February 2012

STaG Board Meeting 13/2/12 1. Studio Slot Proposal There was some concern over the date clash with the Climate Change 24 hour play so the performances will now be on the 12th and 13th of March. There was only one proposal - Heidi Murphy directing My Mother Said I Never Should - and this was selected by a majority vote. W. Foote was assigned Board Representative and is to send feedback to Heidi; C. Felstead will also email him the Board Rep pack and the Directors pack to pass on to Heidi. Auditions are to be held this Sunday (19th March). This production will get only basic tech and Heidi is to arrange her own publicity (this should be sent to I. McArthur by 2/3/12). A budget meeting is to be arranged soon. 2. Climate Change 24-hour Play There was a lot of enthusiasm for this project which shall be discussed fully once New Works is over. The possibility of collaborating with various theatre groups from Glasgow was raised and met with approval. 3. Cinders First fundraising meeting has been had; there will be a second this week. A theme has been decided for the Fundraiser and the Launch Night - the former will be a fairytale theme and the latter a ‘broken fairytale’. The possibility of an evening of readings was discussed and questions were raised about its suitability as a fundraising/publicity event. A cast member has dropped out but her role has been replaced and the directors are impressed with the replacement’s enthusiasm to integrate with the cast. There will be a post show discussion on the Thursday night (22/3/12) in the bar space. The first singing rehearsal will be this week. 4. New Works An aftershow venue has been sorted. 5. Social 24/2/12 The bar needs restocking - D. Keenan will take care of this but needs help. 6. 5 Minute Theatre There was a lot of interest shown in this project. The point was raised that this piece will showcase STaG’s talents to a much wider audience than usual and as such a proposal should only be chosen if it is of a high calibre. 7. STaG Ball A Ball committee is being gathered. The venue is to be booked soon - the date for the ball will be 21/5/12. 8. STaG Room Cleanup There will be a cleanup 4-7pm on 21/2/12. 9. Elections/AGM The AGM will be on 22/4/12 (the Sunday before exams start) and the Election will be on 6/5/12. 10. AOB Improv Teatime are considering trying to perform regularly; issues were raised whether this performance should comprise the best talent or try and include everyone.
