Scene Preparation Process

• Copy Script:  Each person will need a copy of the translated script. This should be done first.
• Do a Read-through: Everyone sits down and reads the script together with each person playing their part.
• Block Your Scene: Run through the scene and figure out where people will enter, exit and move around on stage during the scene. (Make notes on your script as to where you should stand etc...)
• Memorize Your Lines: You can't use a script when you perform your scene. Memorize your lines. You should have most of them memorized by tomorrow!
• Rehearse, Rehearse, Rehearse!
