Round 3 for the Community League brings us what may be our hardest decision yet. Two versatile competitors take the field in this match and I'm excited to see all the reasons you guys come up with to choose one over the other. Both can be written upon, are easy to move if needed, are sticky, but they serve very specific roles and I don't know that I'd want to go without either one over the course of a production.
Post-its and post-it flags are one of the hallmarks of a prompt script. We use them to remind ourselves of the next break, to pass notes to our assistants and the director, and to mark cues on the fly during tech.
Meanwhile, spike tape, the narrower sibling of earlier competitor gaff tape, is used not just to mark positions on the fly rail but also to mark furniture, divide up prop tables, turn maglites into bite-able lights, and flag your pencils so they don't walk away. And, in what may be its most important role, it takes the place of the entire set during rehearsal.
Poll runs through Tuesday at noon CST. Allez Cuisine! (Wait, wrong venue.) Play ball!
