Stage Management: Plays & Musicals / Re: Merged Topics - "Left or Right" and "Your book Left or right"

« on: Aug 03, 2007, 11:23 am »

My experience in stage management is in community theatre, which we often get new or inexperienced actors.  I setup my book with the script on the left and blocking notes on the most left column of the right hand side and the cues on the right hand side of the right page.
I find that I need to have the blocking notes available in case an actor ends up in the wrong place, I can refer to the blocking notes and correct there placement when they come off stage or during notes.

I have tried other formats (seperate calling book, or changing the left and right side) but I find it easier the way that I have been doing it.

I only use Warn when its a long preparation that needs to be done for the cue.  I will then use the warn (warn for set movement usually) otherwise its just stand-up and go.
