Stage Management: Plays & Musicals / PROMPT BOOK: Organization?

« on: Feb 22, 2010, 09:27 am »

I am, like I am sure many of you are, very proud of the way my prompt book looks. To me the order makes sense, and I thought that was the more important part. However, the other day my SM (I am ASM-ing currently) told me that the order of everything else didn't matter as long as the script was in the back. She said this is how a what a previous SM had told her. While I can see the use of this, I prefer my script to be the second thing in my prompt book, right behind a contact sheet in a page protector.

I guess what I'm really asking is: Is having my script somewhere other than in the last position considered back prompt book etiquette?
