Rehearsal Report: Getting Married

Item

Title
Rehearsal Report: Getting Married
Description
The stage manager has to create many different forms to use throughout the theatrical process. One of the most important forms is a rehearsal report. This report includes all details related to what goes on in a day’s rehearsal. It says who’s in and who’s out, what was actually rehearsed, and any notes for the production. The notes are for anyone who’s not in the rehearsal room. This includes the designers, production manager, company manager among others. This form has evolved a lot over time, but here is a great example of a very detailed report from 1991 for a production of Getting Married.
