Help run rehearsals.
The schedule for rehearsals is available on Callboard, on its embedded Google calendar.
- Take down blocking in SM script copy. Always take these in pencil as everything has a tendency to change.
- Keep track of props/set/costumes--note any new changes or director notes.
- Be on-book for actors after off-book date (when they say "line" give them their line).
- After rehearsal, put things away as necessary. The SM/ASM is responsible for securing all rehearsal items and the rehearsal room.
- Write a rehearsal report. WRITE DETAILED REPORTS. Make sure any notes from the director on what needs to be rehearsed, what props are needed, costumes, etc. are taken down. An example is attached. This helps the prod staff keep updated on new items they need or constraints on items they know about. This is also available on Callboard. Make sure to take notes on the progress made, and if scenes were over or under rehearsed. Make sure you're specific; unless the director needs to bolt after rehearsal ends, check in with them about how much more time they think they'll need with the scenes from that rehearsal.
- ASMs are welcome to attend production meetings but are not required to (if the SM is unavailable, they may ask you to sub in).
