Paperwork and Paperweights

The preparation for the show continues; I have created the beginnings of my prompt book, which I believe is a necessary part of pre-production for any director. I also created the rough rehearsal schedule, a character breakdown—which shows what characters are on which pages (it’s a small cast in a farce so by Act III they’re almost all there all the time)— and the character list with descriptions for auditions.

I also delivered a couple of items to the Theater that I’d like to be worked into the set. These are pieces being donated to the theatre company (and one I took from the tool sale) that might serve as additions to the set dressing. See below.
