rehearsal for performance - rehearsal task

Image
my given rehearsal task was to work as the stage manager and make sure that i take care of the script and annotate important and useful things on the script.i make sure the exits and entrances are clear and the script is well detailed with useful information. when we had a production meeting it helped me understand the key things i needed to do because i was able to discuss with the team about what needed to be done, they verified the exits and entrances and merging of transitions. After this meeting i was able to go back and make a new script regarding the changes made to the old one, which means i had to take some old scenes and add new ones into it. below is a copy of my edited version of the original script based on the Ensemble decisions;   whilst making the script i had to consider everyone in the group and how the edited script might affect them with the changes so i made a list of the people that would be affected by the changes and i went an explained to them in our f
