Students and Novice Stage Managers / Re: Rehearsals: Giving line notes - a real novice question
« on: Oct 23, 2018, 02:25 pm »
A different question but still in the same vein, how do I decide what needs to be marked as a note and when? When I was ASMing my first college production a tip my SM gave me was to not bother with the smaller mistakes early in the rehearsal process and to note the more significant, plot-changing line issues first. I agree that this a good way of going about giving line notes at first so as to not bombard the actors at the start of their role in the show, but when should I start being more nit-picky? Is there a definite answer of "by this week in the process you should start noting every change" or is it dependent on how you feel the cast is doing?
