FAQs Q: What does a Company Manager do?

A: Company Managers do many things, but their main role is administrative management and production support where necessary. For this production, the Company Manager is facilitating the New York transfer as the chaperone for the cast and crew.

Q: I’m happy to submit a bio, but I’ve noticed that what I wrote isn’t exactly what is in the program. Why is that?

A: Due to space in our program, we have a precise word count limit. If you right anything longer than 50 words, we will have to shorten it to fit the program.

Additionally, any grammar or spelling errors may be corrected for readability.

Q: My picture was taken on an iPhone and not a professional camera.

Why is that?

A: We compared the photo quality on our iPhones versus the cameras we own and found the iPhone takes much better, clearer photos. Our goal is to take a clear photograph of your face with good lighting. We call them program photos since they are not professional headshots. The photos we take are not meant to substitute for a professional headshot. If you are looking for a professional headshot, please reach out to Cynthia Price. Photography

Q: I really don’t like the quality of my program photo. What should I do?

A: The Management is always open to retaking program photos as long as we are asked in a kind and timely fashion. We understand the desire to put your best self out there and strive to make you look your best! Before you reach out to us to retake the photo, ask yourself if the issue is quality or if you want it to look like a professional headshot. We are not professional headshot photographers, so our goal is a clear photograph of your face with good lighting.

FAQs (cont.)

Q: Where can I find Opening Night Reception photos after they have been taken?

A: Reception photos will be available the week after the reception. If the reception is on a Friday, the images will be available the following week through Flickr via our Linktree on our Instagram. We appreciate your patience when it comes to uploading photos as our team is balancing many tasks post-reception.

Q: I’ve noticed that the main audience for our shows is 113 students. Why is that?

A: To pass their class, students taking 113 must see all CALREP productions in a semester. Their class is focused on acting and theater education, as many of these students have not seen a theater performance before, or, if they’ve seen a live performance, it is a concert, band, or movie experience that does not have the same formalities as theatre. We must recognize that many of these students are learning theatre etiquette for the first time, and while professors and the CALREP team prep them on how to view a show, sometimes, some folks need some extra reinforcement from house management. We encourage you to extend empathy and patience to our 113 students as they experience theatre for the first time.

Q: I have more questions, where should I go?

A: Come visit your company manager in the management office! The office is past the men’s bathroom, up the stairs. If we are not there, please email cotacalrep@csulb.edu.
