X/X/X= page/ staff/ measure
Stage and Piano rehearsal = full tech, lights, costumes, scenery but with piano accompaniment only (ie. 1st dress rehearsal)
Stage and Orchestra = full tech, lights, costumes, scenery with FULL orchestra (ie. final dress rehearsal)- strict union rules usually apply in this rehearsal
also of note: Sitzprobe- seated rehearsal with singers and full orchestra (usually held after staging is complete right before moving to technical rehearsals)
water table- coffee/ tea set up. Usually have 3 large coffee makers. 1 for caf, 1 for decaf, 1 for hot water. Have lots of teabags (variety), honey, lemon, sugar, creamer, etc. Helps to keep a bottle of hand sanitizer here (and on all props tables and SM tables). It is important to keep all items well stocked and fresh. Singers tend to be very particular about their drinks. I also try to supply hot water kettles for star dressing rooms when possible.
