[SML] Production calendar question

[Brian Munroe]

Reminds me of the days of “calendar creator plus”, software to generate calendars.  Now I just use google calendars.  I have different calendars for different things - personal calendar, calendar for my main show (I work on broadway), calendar for other gigs, etc etc.  You can share calendars, publish calendars, do all kinds of things like that, Very easily.  It handles both events that occur at specific times and events that are considered “all day” without a specific time.

(Not completely sure who, not that it matters…) I’ve always known what I’ll be working on for the next week or so but never planned out in detail weeks in advance. I’m hoping they might be satisfied with something that shows “tape ground plan in rehearsal space”, “load in platforming” and “hang lights”, "focus lights”. That kind of thing. I doubt anyone will bother to look at it once it’s created but if it gives them some peace of mind, I’ll be happy with that.

Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions on a nice clean way to come up with something that I can prep, without spending in inordinate amount of time or getting a graduate degree in Gantt charts?
