Not sure if you're talking to me or Joshualangman but I'm going to answer with a GIF. This is how a director adds rehearsals to the schedule with Cast98

Such a post already exists, my good sir. But I truly am also interested in just learning how theatres tick. I am only familiar with my local groups, and so I guess you could say I am trying to expand my knowledge of common practices.

Cast98 is the name of a web app for theatre directors/stage managers that I built in 2016. I posted a board topic about its features so if you want to know more, give that a read-thru or visit the website.

I hope you find this helpful!

I am said sweaty actor, and I can tell you the only stuff that works for me is 3M Nexcare flexible clear tape. I think it's a surgical tape of some kind. I took a picture:

When you leave your current post as the master of lighting, audio, set building, house operations, ticket sales, curtain folding, audition processes, safety guidelines, etc... who is going to take over? How will you pass on your knowledge? Or will you?Do you have a Google Docs folder? A...

Hey all, I am a brand new member here on the forums and my welcome message said I should drop by and let you know what I'm working on, so here goes...I am a web developer by trade but an actor/singer/dancer for many community theatres around my city over the past 10 years. A couple years ago...
