    SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS

    Does your proposed show contain any sensitive material or particularly challenging elements? If so, how will you handle it?

    Consider elements such as:

    • Intimacy scenes or stage combat requiring coordinators
    • Any difficult or controversial content
    • Special effects or complex staging
    • Music/orchestra challenges (such as a very large pit or unusual instrumentation)
