Stage Management: Plays & Musicals / Creating a call script

I agree. The paper and pen approach is still my favorite. Working on projects from reading to production I enjoy having the ability to change cues from one production to another without re-doing the entire prompt book. I did however recently transition from a three-ring binder to a spiral bound script and find it is much easier to work with - the pages rarely rip out completely.

Stage Management: Plays & Musicals / Decisions.

« on: Mar 30, 2005, 11:07 am »

I have called from a booth backstage and a booth in the back of house. It really depends on the space. For example, the off-Broadway theater I last worked in had a booth backstage with an infrared monitor system so you could see in the dark, however, it was a peice of SH*T and it was difficult to see if you were in the right cue. On the other hand, working in the back of the house is sometimes a problem when you do not have direct access to the actors and backstage area making it harder to resolve issues when they arise.  :? I guess that didn't asnwer the question...did it?
