REVIEW OF PREVIOUS MINUTES:

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR REPORT:

Most of the last month has been preparing for upcoming shows. Auditions were held and the cast set for the upcoming one-acts. We have started practice and everything is moving along great. I have been in contact with the other theaters getting everything organized.

We have also received our last check from our ARP grant we got through SD Arts Council. I am currently going through other grants to find ones that we qualify for and will start submitting requests to see what we can get.

I have been in contact with Nate at the Rec Center about theater upgrades. We had to order a cable to get the new hanging mics working. Once that comes in, I will install three more hanging mics. I am doing some research for Nate on speakers so two more can get ordered for the theater and one for the sound booth. The hope is to get these new speakers, plus the two in the back mounted. We also discussed what it would take to get the sound system in the light booth and how we might upgrade that. Nate is looking into soundboards and/or getting another i-Pad for backup at this time. The city is also starting planning on cold storage and setting money aside, this might be a couple of years off though. We did discuss some other smaller upgrades that could happen in the next year or two as well. We discussed the curtains and unfortunately there is no ETA on when they will be installed. 

Adam N. with school indicated that space for costumes was supposed to be worked on over the summer. Things are still in limbo but we will be notified when things are moving forward.
