View source for Theatre Managers Manual

== Preamble ==

There used to be a printed manager's manual. In the way of the Bedlam, some of it got lost.
Here is the text of the last revision of the manual in 2002.  Lots has changed since then,
so it needs updated by the current generation.

At least it should act as a starting point...

In many of the more relaxed civilizations on the Outer Eastern Rim of the Galaxy, the Bedlam's Theatre Manager's Manual
has already supplanted the great Encyclopedia Galactica as the standard repository of all knowledge and wisdom, 
for though it has many omissions and contains much that is apocryphal, or at least wildly inaccurate, 
it scores over the older, more pedestrian work in two important respects.

First, it is slightly cheaper; and secondly it has the words Don't Panic inscribed in large red [[Electrical_Tape |LX-tape]] letters on its held-together-by-gaffer-tape cover.

== Introduction ==


This manual is designed to hold all the information needed to run Bedlam, because the Theatre Manager changes every year is was seen as necessary that this information be recorded so that it was not lost into the mists of time. This manual is a rewriting of manual written by Al "The Techie" Broom in 1991 which was a rewriting of the manual written by Jo Bullard in 1989.

Lifted straight from the original: "I have been the Manager of the Bedlam for eight months and whilst I could never know what to do in any eventuality, I generally do know who to ask, or what mode of panic is most profitable! With luck, the following will help others to learn to do the same"

Good luck, here it goes.
