Students and Novice Stage Managers / My first prompt book
« on: May 27, 2016, 03:26 pm »
Even though I have been a stage manager for years I have never made a prompt book. The only time I have ever seen one used was when I was working for a stage lighting company.
I am currently stage managing and technical director at a new upstart of a theater company a few long time friends have started up. And we are starting to get a following of the same people working back in the dark.
So I was wondering what is the best way to go about getting a group of people to start using them as well as maybe a list of often used short hand to start off with
I am the only person who has ever run a stage in our group and want to make this transition for others as easy as can be after seeing wha canon wrong during a production when no one is taking notes during rehearsals.
Any and all advice is welcome.
