WORKSHEET / 04 · Props masters and stage managers building a show’s tracking list

WORKSHEET / 09 · Costume fittings and wardrobe teams recording performer measurements

WORKSHEET / 10 · Breaking a script into entrance-and-exit units for blocking and rehearsal planning
French Scene Breakdown
A French scene chart tracks the play’s changing onstage company: a new unit begins when an entrance or exit changes who is present. This is more specific than numbering the playwright’s printed scenes and helps teams see traffic, entrances and who remains onstage.
