Abstract
Let’s suppose that you are the director of a stage play in its first rehearsal. Before the rehearsal begins, you have met with the three principal actors and perceived that one of them had not rehearsed his lines very well; he kept asking where the script reader was and if this person would be close by to feed him lines. You also had a conversation with the lighting director who told you that that a bank of lights was out. The lighting director was hopeful that the lights would be ready when needed a third of the way through rehearsal. The sound manager let you know that she had not yet been able to secure a device to produce an important sound for the play. As you entered the auditorium, the producer approached and indicates the performance was already over budget by $20,000.
