Boothill Drama again
I am beginning to regret ever saying "sure I'll come and do a stage make-up workshop" to the Boothill people. Really. The drama llama rears its ugly head again. Here's the deal...
The person who is the director of the Variety show, and the one who initially asked me to do this workshop, has been in contact with me via email all week checking in on what things I need and what space would be best for the workshop etc. Standard proceedure for anyone organizing a workshop right? And I've been asking questions and making sure he knows what things I need etc. Again, standard stuff. Yesterday he sent out an email to me, our volunteer for make-up (I'm going to make someone up on the spot) and the Exec. director of Boot Hill (apparently, though I didn't initially notice this). He asked that I email and coordinate with our "victim" about skin allergies etc. Not a problem. I email her and ask her the things I need to know and thank her for volunteering. Then, I get another email... this time from the Exec. director. In her email she went on and on about even though she knows we are capable here are things she wants us to address in the make-up workshop. And there's a big long email that goes on and on about things that a) I already know b) I already had planned to address and c) she thinks apply specifically to this group but that the show director and I had discussed differently.
OK.... here's my deal. I know what I'm doing. I know they know what I'm doing. I don't mind that they have a list of things they need done because that's what I had already been discussing with the show director. BUT... I have to ask.... if this lady is the Exec. director and she wants to call the shots for the variety show workshop... a)why isn't she coordinating it instead of the show director b) why doesn't she do the make-up workshop herself if she knows what specifically she wants and needs done and c) who on EARTH is really in charge there.
It's irritating when there's too many cooks spoiling the soup. I am NEVER going to agree to this kind of thing again unless I make CERTAIN there is one person I am reporting to.
Sheesh. Get your sh** together people.
