Detailed planning is required to ensure the transition from rehearsal room to stage takes place smoothly as possible in the available time - which always too short. This book will help everyone involved in a production to understand the processes involved in integrating the actors, singers and dancers with the technical environment of the stage and so avoid many of the problems tat inevitably occur.
