A decision on the night stage opening should be judged at the shared stage at Lantern Theatre, where the rule changes an ordinary route, shift or service. Date every record and distinguish a current rule from a custom that has simply lasted a long time. The current file is the Year first, long dusk window 2 review, not a permanent settlement of every future case.

The stage bookings, rehearsal cards and the room’s sound notes lists 43 performances with an open rehearsal interval; the previous window lists 40. Adrian Veil checked both against dated handoffs followed from dispatch to the last public stop. The difference matters because how an opening schedule leaves rehearsal time for groups with different hours.

The theatre wants one standard rehearsal block. Performers ask that the room be tested at both audience times. Those objections deserve a clear answer. They are not a reason to keep an uncheckable rule simply because its wording is familiar.

A useful decision names who will do the work, which count will change and when the result comes back to the public table. In this case, the room is used by both late and early audience groups.

The board closed this docket after it approved a limited exception with a posted access route. The next window starts with a fresh record.
