Stage Management: Plays & Musicals / Re: COMMUNICATION: Ignoring line notes, improvising

You are not alone.
This is happening more and more as we grow older. It will happen to all of us.
Imagine what must be going on inside this actors head and heart and soul. His "acting out" is fear. Fear that he is getting worse, fear that he will never again be able to memorize lines, fear that his career may be over, all kinds of fear; rational and irrational. I type out the notes with what he is saying and what the actual line is. Deliver the notes in hard copy IN PRIVATE. Ask if and how you can help him. Is there an intern or a volunteer who can runs lines with him? Obviously it is too late to recast, so you all must make the best of the situation. Treat him with kindness, no matter how frustrating things get. And remember, in the end, we call it a "PLAY..."

Stage Management: Plays & Musicals / Re: Rehearsal Report Question

« on: Mar 21, 2015, 12:19 pm »

Your brain works like mine.
The rehearsal report is for the entire production, not just the director's ego.
Report away.

I have. That solves half my problem. The other half is that I only see half my excel spreadsheet in the word doc!
I see the entire length of the doc, just not the entire width.
