October 1st, 2007.
The Monday “off” between tech and previews.

I, Dara Weinberg, hearby make application for membership in the Society of Stage Directors and Choreographers, Inc., and agree to abide by all rules and regulations as provided in the By-Laws of the Society as well as to all the addition working rules adopted by the membership, and support the SSDC credo:

“It is the broad purpose of this Society to elevate the standards of the art of stage direction and choreography; to develop communication among the director and choreographer craftspersons; to establish means for the dissemination and exchange of ideas of directorial and choreographic interest to the profession; to aid in the development and training of directors and choreographers; to increase in the professional and public esteem these arts and to develop all conditions that will encourage them.”

I’ve never been so in fervent agreement with the goals of anything I’ve joined in my life.
