Rehearsal Line Notes
Line Notes sent to actors
*Please Note: Due to the repetitive nature of the lines in Constellations by Nick Payne, rehearsal line notes are different than other examples. They were not taken in the script, so we could copy and paste the missed/paraphrased lines faster. This is the only show where I have strayed from taking the note in my prompt book and then transferring it to a spreadsheet.
Prompt Book Setup:
-
Cues with ready cues
-
Cues to calling 'Go'
-
lines under text break up the scenes
-
scene numbers circled
Unique Elements of Constellations:
-
Smallest cast I've worked with.
-
This was a capstone project, so the Director chose the script, held auditions (had to recast cause both original actors dropped), they designed lights, sound, and set design.
-
No set, limited props
-
memory-like play
-
This was a post COVID Pandemic, so we had a special preshow announcement to warn that the actors would be unmasked, but were not sick.
* Also note, our assistant stage manager was ASM, Costume, Makeup, soundboard operator, and ran publicity for the production and Winona State Department of Theatre and Dance.
