A Few Quick Reminders
This post is to remind everyone about a few rehearsal expectations.
Getting to know your fellow cast mates is a wonderful thing.
There are back rooms, an alley, and right outside of the front door where that can be accomplished without disturbing the scene work taking place in the rehearsal space. Please be mindful of others and remain respectful by utilizing these areas when not needed for the scene. A stage manager will retrieve you when needed if you are in those locations.
I, Kiara Steelhammer, have a million pencils that can be taken for personal use during rehearsal. It is strongly encouraged that all actors write down blocking and additional notes in their script.
Now that we are nearing the off book stage of rehearsals, please feel free to call for line. There is nothing to be ashamed about and every actor will do it. Guaranteed. Time is a precious thing so there is no need to apologize or give commentary on a dropped line. Keep it simple and just say line. A stage manager will assist you further.
There is a props table in the back room of Neverland that is full of pros to use. Please use them! Also put them back on the table when your scene work is finished. We can keep better track of what props we need when they are always used in rehearsals.
Equally, if not more important, being on time and arriving for your call. I'm sure we have all heard it before but 15 mins ahead of call is on time and on time is late. Arriving 10-15 mind ahead of your call time assures that you have time to attach swords and gather props needed for rehearsal. It's understandable that things come up but communication is key!
Thank you for taking the time to read this! I look forward to even more productive rehearsals and good times!
