bullet Topic: Theater Policy
    Posted: 5/21/07 at 9:50pm
I'm a member of a  little non-profit community theater which has a set of by-laws but no formal theater policy exists.  I suggested that a written policy/procedural manual be set in place and then got assigned the task to write one up to present to the Board of Directors. 

I'm not looking to reinvent the wheel here and would appreciate any help with this from the members of this group.  If any of you belong to a theater with a written policy, I would really appreciate seeing what you have and perhaps glean some of the information that would apply to our theater.

Can I count on your help, please?

Thanks,
Leahi

A year ago we were in the exact same situation.  Over the period of about four months came up with our manual, a lot of it was either putting into one place things we already had written (like job descriptions) or putting on paper things we were already doing.  I've also written a series of articles on this topic for the Nebraska Association of Community Theatres' newsletter.

If anyone is interested in these documents shoot me an email and I can send them to you in Word format.   Email me at director@beatricecommunityplayers.com
