HMS Pinafore • A Canadian University Theatre Society planning its 40th Anniversary Operetta: H.M.S. Pinafore. • MSc students were given a 7-page record of the meeting that was kept to plan the production of the show. • They were asked to play the role of consultants • to analyse and question the logic and duration of various activities • to make recommendations to the Producer of the show on how it should be planned.
Example of Meeting Record • Deb: Yes, there is plenty we can learn from last year; we faced some major problems in a couple of areas that you’ll have to think about. One was in getting the program completed – was that a headache!!! • Before you do anything else, make sure you hire a publicity director! We can’t run any ads without one. They are always tough to come by and it might take you two weeks to find a capable one. • After that you should start working early on the program. You have to get photographs taken of the cast and the crews, and collect biographies of everyone so they can be included in the program. It may take you 4 to 5 weeks to get them. Everyone keeps putting it off. After you’ve collected the information, you will have to enter it into a computer program. That will take a full day. 7 pages - Some meeting participants gave conflicting views on what needed to be done when!!!!
