Character/Scene Breakdown
This document originated from my note-taking at an ensemble tracking meeting early in the process, and it was maintained throughout the production process with any changes that occurred as we rehearsed. It contains all of the information about what actor was onstage for each scene and song, as well as what costume they are in at that time. I crafted this document in order to work through logistical challenges that this production had, for example, the challenge of all the members of the ensemble switching between two different time periods throughout the show, sometimes changing back and forth within short periods of time.
Scenery Tracking
In this production, most set changes were completed by actors in full or partial light. This document was created to track which actors were available and then assigned to each piece for all transitions. This was something that my team worked on throughout the rehearsal process, figuring out what actors were in the appropriate costumes for storytelling consistency and who also had enough time before their next scene to move pieces.
