The one I'm really proud of is this one for what I would call "fancy shows" - shows that are expected to run a long time and/or need a really robust contact sheet with lots of info beyond just the cell numbers and emails of the cast and creative team. I have two basic formats I use for contact sheets. You can just drag your logo (or perhaps one show logo and one company logo) into the box and it should size appropriately.Äownload in Excel (.xls) format Contact Sheets

I use the squares on either upper corner for show logos. If your show runs seven weeks, there's nothing to stop you from making a seven-week calendar (aside from having to squish things a little). Just make a calendar that starts with the first week and ends with the last. If you're doing a show that runs a month from the 15th to the 15th, you don't need two separate pages for both months. My favorite thing about this format is that it's completely flexible.

She sent it to me, and I have used it (with some of my own modifications) on every show I have done since, and have in turn passed it on to many other stage managers and company managers. When I was production coordinator for the Florida premiere of the musical Bingo, I was lamenting this sad state of affairs over the phone to the company manager, and she said that she had a great Excel spreadsheet that I could use to make my very own calendar. Now, I guess they expect you to use Outlook or iCal, or some similar all-in-one app, which is a terrible way to go about producing a calendar for other people to use that has nothing to do with your own personal schedule. Time was, people sold programs that would allow you to design a calendar to look just how you like it, and to contain the information you want to share. I came into the business at the tail end of the era of the standalone calendar app. It seems nobody makes a calendar that allows you to control what it looks like.

#BLANK STAGE PLOT TEMPLATE ZIP FILE#
Here are some sample pictures of what the reports look like, and you can download a zip file containing both reports in either format. The other thing that I like about it is that if you do your daily schedule as a table in another document, you can paste it right in within the "Tomorrow's Schedule" table. The reports look basically the same in Word, except that the best part of the performance report - the automatic calculation of the running time - doesn't work, but you can just put it in by hand. I do my reports using the app Pages, which is part of Apple's iWork suite. It's based on the performance report I developed on the Acting Company tour earlier this year, except the fancy graphics are toned down a bit so that it will paste directly into an email without losing its formatting. I'm using a new template for this season's rehearsal and performance reports at The Reagle Players. It's a very low-maintenance way to really make my questions stand out. The moment I remove the question mark, it goes back to being a regular cell. I like to set a condition that if a cell contains "?" that it fills the background in a light pink and makes the text red. If you're using a spreadsheet, database, or a word processor with advanced spreadsheet-like table features, you can create conditional formatting to automatically highlight your question marks.
#BLANK STAGE PLOT TEMPLATE UPDATE#
Sometimes I forget to update things once I have an answer. Sometimes it's helpful to know at a glance how many things are left to be decided. Naturally when starting a document, especially one that evolves over the course of production, like a scene breakdown, entrance-exit table, etc., I find myself using a lot of question marks. This is something I've only thought of lately. I have a separate page dicussing scripts of all kinds, currently focusing mostly on formatting of a typed calling script, with downloadable example.
