Method:
- Take your cast members and place together with the directors in workshops for several weeks
- Allow time to get creative
- Watch the development of the script
- When script is well developed, begin rehearsals, making good use of pencils as required
- Add the designer
- Allow more time for creativity, while continuing wearing down those pencils
- As rehearsals continue, set aside scripts
- Rehearse some more for healthy development
- Get-in to your venue
- Add the make-up artist and the back stage crew
- Begin production week
Please note: you are now at the most difficult part of the recipe - Hang in there
- Once tech runs and dress runs are complete, be sure to get a good nights sleep
- You are now ready for your audience
Serve up and enjoy
