At Wichita State University

CHANGE ORDER:  These are your NEW Team Names...I have decided that the strictly descriptive ones are not good enough for a group such as we have in this class...So here they are:

"Pre" is now "Team We-Ain't-In-the-Prisoner-Takin'-Bid'ness"   AKA  "WPA"

"Prod" is now "Team Zombie-Kill-of-the-Week"  AKA  "ZKW"

"Other" is now "Team Captain-Billy's-WhizBang"   AKA  "CBW"

The reason for this change is that we are changing the job descriptions of the teams.  The Layout of our book will remain pretty much the same but our jobs will change.  The New team names are "Cool" in my Less-than-hip-Old-Guy-Opinion and have virtually nothing to do with the operation or objectives of the teams. 

On or before Wednesday's class you will have assignments for each team posted on this page.
Monday October 12th

Your First assignment is to Complete the Groups that we started to assemble on Friday.  As a class you will take all of the members of the class that were not present for Friday's class and assign them to Teams such that all the teams are roughly equal.  Please take this Seriously. 
Get everyone, present or absent, into a team.
At least one member of each team needs to email me with the complete list of team members before Wednesday.

Your Second Assissignment as teams in the Project is to read over the WSU Stage Management Guide linked at the left.  This will be a point of departure for the Project. Please Read and be thoroughly familiar with it before class period on Wednesday the 14th.  Read and do research on all apects of Stage Management so as to be ready for your Teams Assignments later this week,
