Hello there folks!
I'm stage managing my first musical in college. I'm not worried about calling the cues to music and such, I've a good music and dance background and I am getting tutored in score reading.
there are a few things about our production that i'd like some advice on;
1-Our set involves a turntable. How do you tape this out (silly thing I know but vital since lots of set pieces will be 'on top of each other' as the table revolves).?
2-We are also using machine operated moving platforms, what advice can you give?
3-During music rehearsals if I have no paperwork to do, is it ok to...read a book and such?
4-What do i need to do to get ready for dance rehearsals, what do I do during a dance rehearsal?
5-ummm anything else?
