1. write EVERYTHING down... i mean EVERYTHING. do this, and you'll never fail!
2. as far as organizing goes, it's best (i find) to have different sections in your folder for lights, sound, props, set, costumes, rehearsal notes, production meeting notes, act 1, act 2, and others (for contact info, calendars, ect)...
3. don't let a crazy director freak you out... smile, nod, write it down, you're doing the best you can!
4. RECRUIT, RECRUIT, RECRUIT!!! this is why steel went over so well - you and your crew were amazing and SOOOOOOOO helpful!!! if you feel overwhelmed, get someone to help you!! :)
anyhow, i don't know if this will help you or annoy you or whatever, but i'm sure you're doing a FINE job!! and to be completely honest, if you feel like you're lost of you feel like you might be forgetting soething, talk to jim... that's what he's there for and that's why we love him!!
love you and best wishes for the show!

i was having a melt down when I wrote this, b/c I thought I had screwed up the production meeting time. I tend to freak out and then calm down. Speaking of crazy directors...

are you going to come visit any time soon? I missed your visit this summer. anyway, talk to you soon. :D
