REMINDERS:
  • Playwrights, please let actors know if a role is a “5 & under” (lines) so that the actor can accept that role which doesn’t count towards their 2-3 role cap suggestion
  • Actors, let us know if you have 5-&-under lines for proper role count  [As per a member relaying helpful information: “in accordance with SAG-AFTRA, the total # of words in the 5 lines or less must be below 50 – exceeding this reclassifies the role as a full part” – & since it’s not practical nor should we be expected to actually count words (& considering there is no comparable Equity rule about this,) we will continue to simply go by the total # of lines spoken (including sounds) that should be counted as a 5-and-under, NOT the amount of times the character is listed as speaking, where there could be long speeches within even those few times :)]
  • Actors, accept only 2 roles if possible!!
  • The 15 minute time clock starts when Don announces the playwright
  • Please do not chat “to Everyone” during plays
  • Please check your audio levels for proper volume & mute your microphone when not in plays!!

Send Mark Gordon an email if you want to substitute in the next absence (preferably with bio if can include) and will be put in the schedule in the order in which it was received
10/04  = OPEN to any members who have not given their bio yet!
Thanks to Don Loftus for the insightful guideline questions!
Please keep answers (to some or all) to a total of no more than 3 minutes
Please refrain from questions/comments during member presentation as it is their opportunity to share, & we only have a limited time!
Reminder that a member does not have to participate if they don’t want to – 
this is just to give us a chance to get to know each other a little more 🙂
Thank you for sharing!

REMINDERS:
  • Playwrights, please let actors know if a role is a “5 & under” (lines) so that the actor can accept that role which doesn’t count towards their 2-3 role cap suggestion
  • Actors, let us know if you have 5-&-under lines for proper role count  [As per a member relaying helpful information: “in accordance with SAG-AFTRA, the total # of words in the 5 lines or less must be below 50 – exceeding this reclassifies the role as a full part” – & since it’s not practical nor should we be expected to actually count words (& considering there is no comparable Equity rule about this,) we will continue to simply go by the total # of lines spoken (including sounds) that should be counted as a 5-and-under, NOT the amount of times the character is listed as speaking, where there could be long speeches within even those few times :)]
  • Actors, accept only 2 roles if possible!!
  • The 15 minute time clock starts when Don announces the playwright
  • Please do not chat “to Everyone” during plays
  • Please check your audio levels for proper volume & mute your microphone when not in plays!!
