Howdy,
I'm stage managing my first musical. The next several rehearsals are 100% vocals with the music director. I've just been showing up at rehearsal, taking attendance, calling the people who are late for the call. I made some misc. notes at the first all-music rehearsal. For tonight's rehearsal, I left after about an hour. Was that a mistake? Should I be staying throughout the entire rehearsal? I really don't have much to contribute, there isn't any blocking to record, the assignments of singing parts have been made. If I need to be present at the entire vocal rehearsal I can do that. But I'd think sitting in the back working on my computer would be more disruptive. Could I work in an adjacent room? Or do I need to be in the same room as the cast? Thanks for your thoughts, Mike
