It's been another great week in stage management! This week, we've finally started rehearsals for A Man for All Seasons and I read another chapter, this time about budgeting.
The chapter on budgeting is fairly small. It provides a breakdown of chain of command when it comes to purchases and budgeting. However, in my capacity as stage manager for this fall production, I will probably not have to deal with a budget at all.
The more exciting update this week is definitely in regards to rehearsals. The cast read through the script on Monday and Tuesday and we had our first rehearsals on the stage on Wednesday and Thursday. It's so interesting to see the cast start to get a grip on the characters and story. I'm really excited about the cast; I think we have a lot of great people and particularly a lot of first-time actors or people who are new to Jewell Theatre. It's exciting to think that in seven weeks we'll be almost ready to open our show! But we have a lot more work to do to get there... See you next week!
Excellent. Try to get the cast to read your blog and leave feedback here! Add the URL to your signature on emails to the company.
