    When it comes to rehearsal...what do you expect your actors to bring with them?

    What about performances? 

    What is a must have in your stage manager's box?

    We have a set stage managers box for every show. It contains:
    duct tape (of course)
    mic tape
    batteries (both for mics and for flashlights/lamps)
    tampons
    hairnets
    bobby pins
    brush/comb
    safety pins
    needle/thread/scissors
    a copy of the script for the production
    his/her prompt book
    emergency chocolate
    water
    first aid
    baby wipes
    pencils
    tissues

    In rehearsals they are expected to have
    their scripts (it's amazing how many forget that little item...)
    a pencil
    water
    comfortable clothes

    in performance they are expected to have
    make up kit
    clothes for under their costume
    anything for their hair
    water
    sanity... (that comes and goes) :)
    any small props or costume pieces they were assigned, or volunteered, to provide
    shoes
    baby wipes
