Really needed the double purchase system, thank you!!

Best yet💙

How would one make a large vase?

How can I create the Venetian effect in a double doorway? I want this effect when we are introduced at our wedding reception.

so i’m the understudy for Maria and Leisl (the two female leads) in the Sound of Music right now, and i was wondering if it’s normal to be assigned to two understudies? also i was only assigned a small part as one of the character nuns, so i’m only in the beginning and end of the show, yet i have to do three times as much work as everyone else. this is high school age btw and i’m kinda scared to do this much especially since i’m in another show right now too. mainly, i’m just disappointed i didnt get a larger role considering how much work i have to do.

Thank you! I've fallen into the stage manager position for our current show, as our group finally has a stage to work on. Real lights! Real sound! Real curtains! It's very exciting, and I'm terrified. XD

Where did you get the bowls. That dip that makes the rim is great

La vidéo est vraiment pas ouf a étudier en cours d’anglais

White erasers are neat.

Well done. I need these kinds of video for a "drafting club program I am going to develop for grade school. I found out that over 30% of high school students don't known how to use a ruler now.

Thank you so much, I had a cut list for homework, and I had no idea what to do. This made it a little easier to understand.

This is hands down " THE " best video on the subject ! This term is use in so many cases that it is hard to have a solid foundation around it and this make absolute sense with the Robert Mckee use of the term. I would like to suggest to make another video with a summary of this one but a pratical one with the script from the Avengers with maybe the thor / captain america vs thanos scene so we can see action beats and maybe from the same script another scene with more dialogue so we can see dialogue beat that would be 🔥🔥🔥

Can you do a video on the automation of rigging?

Fantastic explanation Nick. Thanks for making these videos they are of such value!

great stuff Nick, great that you also post the really basic stuff which so often gets ignored.

I'm not in the theatre scene, and always wondered how long it takes to learn a role from scratch. "A week" is at the extreme short end of what I'd have thought reasonable, so "a couple of days" and "a couple of hours" completely blew me away. Is this an emergency situation that is only applicable to someone whos' seen the role a bunch of times, like already acting a different role in the same play, or being part of the crew, etc.? Let's say you've never seen a play and somehow get assigned a role... starting from a completely blank slate, how long does it take normally, and how long in a breakneck emergency type situation?

Love your TARDIS

I can't see shit

i wonder if this phenomenon influenced the cars short in anyway

cant see.. try this again standing up!!

So cool. Thank you! I’ve been working as a stage hand but haven’t taken any classes yet so this is a great introduction that they don’t usually have time for at work. Very interesting.

Thanks so much for making these videos! I teach at a community college and it is difficult to show students what I am talking about without actually taking them to the stage and doing it. You make it fun and relatable! I appreciate what you do!

While I understand the - sections - but I think it’s better to keep actors, costumes, props, set pieces, sound and music - on the opposite page (in a two page layout) WITH the script ie dialogue… that way you have everything sync’d with the words to facilitate queuing… As for blocking, I like using an Insta360 to record blocking as the rehearsals progress and as blocking changes… with the understanding that the video will only be used for the production stage “book” and will not appear in any other venue (unless there full agreement with the actors and any compensation… and IF EQUITY doesn’t like that… I get non-Equity talent for the production!)

i found thus very helpful - i’m from the uk and one of my a levels is theatre and for one of our exams we each have to create our own vision for the play the crucible by arthur miller. i’ve got my basic vision but these questions helped me to develop my thought process further so i do thank you for this video :)

In South Africa we hardly ever talk about Left or Right, but rather Prompt and OP (Opposite Prompt).

Talking a little too fast for me

Thanks for this video I am a constolden for a school district and I used alot of cables that I need to wrap and I never know how to do it

You can also do this of shows you want to see and already have seen/ plays and musical theather

This is a great channel! Going back to local 33 after a few years off and really appreciate the refresher’s!

Thank you! This would help my students!

"BRAVO Darling... Bravo" Excellent video... Thank you for sharing this great video.

I've been shown this technique and tried to master before but to no avail. That's until now after watching your fantastic break down. Thank you very much

Thanks Nick! I’m sharing this with my Acting 1 students!

Love it! Yes, I always ask myself…”why this show?” “Why should we present this show now?” I love to consider the impact, discussion, healing or change a play can make within my community as well. You got my Director’s brain going! I’m such a Theatre generalist, but I love directing because of the vision aspect and helping to retell or create a new world and invite others in. Lol.

Love it! Great advice. Can you update any major SM extras you have in your bag now that you didn’t years ago?

Love this! Thank you!

Thanks for this - teaching stagecraft and this is exactly what I needed for Monday!

Needed this today! Diving into stage management and lordy what was I thinking hahahaha

OR buy a motorized hoist.

You are so smart wow i learn so much from this video thank you so much

I love your videos ,please recommend a theatre school for me

I feel like this video is staged.

Did you forget something?

Nice!

Thank youuu for this.....

Hahaha that is so American 😅 In Germany you would get your ass kicked for even trying to sue for something like this 🤣 But you do have the right to do so but you would not win the case 😂 That is just darn outrageous...

I also mention to my acting students that where there are beat changes, is where they might forget their line. The change of subject breaks the thought process. I have them create a mental transition between the change of subject. Example: Talking to a friend about her family. I change the subject to ask about her job. Mental transition: she mentioned her mother which reminded me that my mom wanted to know if she still worked at the same insurance agency.

This is great!

looser no commemnts exept me

Hi Nicholas. I'm a teacher in Cincinnati at an arts school. I teach Scenic Design and Technology to 7-12 graders.. This is my 27th year at the school. I have even written a stage hand book myself for my classes because I struggled finding good content to share with my high school students. Much was written for a professional in theater. With our school going remote over the last few years off and on your videos have been such a great help to quickly share a lot of great information! So much of what you cover is spot on to what I teach every single day. Theses have to be my favorite videos. I just want to take a moment and thank you for sharing these.
