Newsletter for June

o        Event was cancelled due to lack of participation.  
 
 
 
 
Fast Fest – St. Cloud June 2008
o                 Need to nail down the dates now.   June 20-22 preferred. 
o        Suggestions from last years Fast Fest – request for more tech time.    Discussion – show us your stuff without the tech ‘magic’.
o        We can have up to 18 shows which means no time for rehearsals ON the stage itself.   This is not MACT Fest II. 
o        Request for Emcee to announce the shows/theaters before the shows. 
o        Friday night event was fun!   
o        Encourage audience & theater companies to stay the 2 days of the event – door prizes – the more sessions you see, the more chances you have to win!! 
o        Possible door-prizes:   MACT packages for 2009 Fest; VISA gift cards; Barnes& Noble gift cards; tickets from theaters; credit to be used with MTI, Rodgers & Hammerstein librairies. 
o        Discussion on tickets packages, session tickets, entry fees.   Bill will have to ‘run the numbers’ from last years numbers before deciding on any prices at this time.    Will look at adopting at October meeting. 
 
 
 
AACT Fest 2011
o        Burnsville held ground-breaking for the new community facility. Contract this month – designs in place.   Per Bill, it looks pretty good – good lighting, rehearsal hall, etc.  
o        3 Councils are in favor of hosting the AACT Fest. Executive Board meeting 2008 – will do a walk-thru of facility.
o        Need to put together our consortium – letter of intent of hosting.
o        Friends of Burnsville foundation are raising $5 million
 
 
Board Retreat – September 15 beginning at 10:00am
o        Need agenda for the day – what should we focus on?
o        Brain-storm: hiring a part-time MACT Director & how to fund this position (office space would be nice, getting things done on a continual basis); Membership benefits (discounts at specific theaters like a Fringe button – for members only); Standing committees – what are they?;  Board Member responsibilities; where is MACT going?; look into a MACT Myspace page or Callboard.Org listing; Website
o        Send Julianna other ideas for agenda items.
o        Bill will see if he has AACT long-range plans available.
 
 
Next Board Meetings
o        October has been moved from Alexandria to Rochester on October 13th.

o        February – Lakeville for Applause’s “Smoky Joe’s Café”
 
 
MACT Fest 2009
o        Need to get letters out to theaters because we need to start looking for a host theater.   Bill & Larry will look at the previous letter and get together a ‘clear’ list of what is expected of the host theater.   December 1st due date!
