Looks like that's the best option, thanks :)to be fair, the other of the three venues have thier own bar with 6 lamps (fresnels I think) - so that one will be different again - yey! :D

Thanks for everything so far! Added bit of information is that in one of the venues has hanging fluoros at about 8ft from the ground and another has a sloping ceiling which drops to about 7ft on one side.... any bright ideas?

Thanks for that idea len - I'm pretty sure it will be on the gym floor, and as I say we're going to look at the venues soon, one of the things to find out is if they can be blacked out!

Oh also, the cast *are* primary school kids - 45 of them in fact. Morning show will be for the rest of thier school and the evening one for thier parents.

Thanks for your answers so farWe go up on the 15th of June, but (I'm at Uni in the UK) myself and the other 4 crew are locked out with exams 'till at least the end of next week.Hehe, as for tech, it goes like this:next wednesday: reccy of the venues, check out what power we have and the...

That's a very good point, didn't think about using it with a score (because although I am doing a musical, I'm not too comfortable calling from a score... I know I *should* but...!)

Says it's printable.... I'm SO not calling from my laptop, it's unreliable enough as it is!!

Hi! I'm a student SM (DSM this show) but have always worked in a performing arts competition that meant I taught my crew thier cues and couldn't call them. I'm now DSM for a musical, and was looking for a way off typing cues into my script, which I have in Microsoft word. I've never had to have...

Could someone explain to me (as simply as possible!) how cue's go from being in someone's mind... or being spoken about... to being written on the prompt script? For example, where do the numbers come from? Surely they must all be written at once, or if an extra cue had to be inserted (for...
