Above and Beyond the Call of Stage Management!
THE BOOK

By the “THE BOOK” we mean your personal copy of the script which includes blocking, cueing, paperwork, and any information relevant to the show.  This may seem like senseless killing of Mother Earth, but it really is important.  The purpose of the Book is not only to document the process but also in the unfortunate scenario that you are unable to fulfill you duties as Miss America…as stage manager…your ASMs will be able to easily step in as rightful heir to the throne and call the show with minimal rehearsal time.

Your book should include:

1. Keys to blocking notation
2. Actual blocking notation
3. Rehearsal Reports
   1. Example 1
   2. Example 2
4. Contact Sheet
5. Ground Plan
6. Props List
7. Tracking Sheets
1. Props
2. Set
3. Fly Schedule
8. Schedule
9. Miscellaneous Paperwork
10. Audition Etiquette
