On more than one occasion I've been guilty of it myself.But, I do believe many clubs are at least working towards a more methodical approach to planning a season. Some clubs are even developing or maintaining fairly comprehensive sets of production notes that act as a checklist for producers, directors, publicists and stagemanagers.It may be useful for some of these to be published on the website. What do you think? Are there any clubs (or individuals) out there that would care to contribute?I have my own personal set of notes that I like to work from. Would people like to see these sorts of things available on the internet as a resource?CheersGrant
