The Callboard

As I've gotten a fair amount of posts up, I've decided that a piece to make navigation a little easier might be useful. 

When doing a show, you will usually find that there is a physical board known as the "Callboard" where the stage manager and/or director has posted relevant information for the show, such as rehearsal times and other announcements.  The cast list might have been posted on the Callboard.

These days, many theaters will have an online Callboard as well as or instead of a physical one.

It's a very useful resource, so I thought I'd name this navigation post after it.

As you can probably see, there is a set of tabs at the top of the blog labeled "Timeline."  I've made a very basic list of the chronological steps of putting on a show: Auditions, First Reads, Blocking, Rehearsals, Technical Rehearsals, Opening, and The Run.

Click on any of these links, or on one of those tabs, in order to see a list of posts on each topic.

My opening post, which also has navigation information and also a basic overview of the point of the blog, is here.

I would also like to take the opportunity to make an announcement, of a kind.

I want to remind anyone reading that I am very open to answering questions about theater and about my obsessive compulsive disorder.  If there is anything you feel I could or should do to make this site more accessible, interesting, or informative, I would love to hear about it.

Thank you for reading, and I hope you enjoy the site.
