Students and Novice Stage Managers / Line Runs
« on: Oct 18, 2017, 11:31 am »
Hi SM Network.
I've been asked to conduct a line run with our cast while the director is absent from the day's rehearsals. I've never done one of these before, and although it's pretty self-explanatory, does anyone have any advice or on how to set it up? Since it's a focus on lines, I presume that it's generally done without blocking. My plan is to tell the actors that they're welcome to mark their tracks as we go along but to not worry about any props/set pieces.
