Stage Management: Plays & Musicals / Re: Creating a Calling Script

« on: Feb 22, 2009, 12:23 am »

I like to use those highlighter tabs. They are easily moved and stick out even in a dark area. So, supposing your booklight malfunctions, you might still be pretty solid with cues. Though, I've found in the show that I am currently working on, the tabs have enabled me to memorize most of the script. So, I can go into another room for a frozen reeses, and call over headset "Light Cue 32, GO."

My whole cast thinks knows I'm crazy.

Stage Management: Plays & Musicals / ESCRIPTS: Retyping e-scripts vs. reformatting - what's easier?

« on: Feb 22, 2009, 12:13 am »

So, I find that it is really helpful to type it yourself. I know that if I used a script someone else typed, I would only become frustrated. The non-custom formatting would drive me crazy!

I like to type my own script. It's useful for inserting cues too.

I mean, if I borrowed someone's electronic copy, I might end up with some crazy Rodgers and Hammerstein shenanigans where things are inappropriately put in bold.

EDIT: Split this off from the Electronic Scripts request thread, lest that get too off-track.  --PSMK
