Rehearsal Notes Sheet template preview

Typing the report is easier when your notes were organized from the start. This sheet is for use during rehearsal, a structured alternative to a legal pad.

It tracks start and end times, five breaks, attendance and a timed breakdown, then gives you labeled boxes for props, costumes, scenery, technical director, lights, sound, director/actors and production management. A checklist at the bottom confirms the report, actor notes and fitting reminders were sent.

How to use this template

  1. 1Fill in the header as rehearsal starts and tick off each break as you call it.
  2. 2Write notes in the matching department box as they come up.
  3. 3After rehearsal, type the report straight from the boxes.
  4. 4Tick the sent checklist and note the last note number for each report.
