Whether you’re joining us as a cast member this season, or are interested in giving theatre a go in the future, we’ve got a few rehearsal tips to keep in mind to start your rehearsal process off on the right foot.
#1 READ THE SCRIPT
Before coming to your first rehearsal, be sure you’ve read your script and have a general familiarity with its themes and tone, and with your character.
#2 STAY FOCUSED
Leave your phone in your bag so you can focus on rehearsal.
#3 PACK THE ESSENTIALS
Be sure to bring a pencil, a highlighter, water, and a snack.
#5 WRITE IT DOWN
Your director will be giving you notes and blocking during the rehearsal process that you’ll want to write down for reference.
#6 LISTEN
Your director and stage manager will be giving you directions throughout the process. Be sure to listen to what they’re saying.
#7 BE QUIET
When others are working, be respectful of them and quietly wait until it’s your turn to speak.
#8 LEAVE YOUR EGO AT HOME
Everyone in the rehearsal room is collaborating to create the best production possible, don’t let your ego stand in the way of progress.
#9 BE FRIENDLY
Everyone wants to work with the best group of humans during a rehearsal process. Make sure you’re actively contributing to a good rehearsal environment by being friendly and open to everyone.
#10 HAVE FUN
Theatre is magic, enjoy the process of being involved in a production!
