Rehearse early in the morning before the real hot arrives, Use fans and shade, hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. Schedule specific times for people to be out so they don't need to sit around in the heat. make sure your performances start as it starts to cool down, no mid day shows absolutely.

Hi Everyone,
You were so helpful with insect prevention tips for performing outside. Do you have any tips on how to keep actors and audience cool during outdoor shows especially when in direct sun?
