Today was the first of what will be a month of very long days for me. I spent most of today feeling all my pre-worry worries about just how stressful this month will be, afraid of losing my cool, nervous about this insane schedule I've made for myself. I have habit of borrowing worry from the future, which is always counter-productive because by the time I get to the future, none of my past worrying turns out to help me at all. I worry then too.
All of this to say that I spent today spinning myself a little web of intricate knots of worry and came home and wrote my very first rehearsal report since college. I picked up a new template from A.R.T, some numbering tricks from SSC and volia! A rehearsal report. The staple of a stage manager's job and how the machine of a rehearsal process runs - rehearsal hall to designers and back again.
I finished my first-ever-all-on-my-own-grown-up rehearsal report and actually smiled. Say what you will, I think an organized, clear, and well-structured document is an accomplishment. Here's mine.
