What does Off-Book mean? ("LINE!")

Off-book means you've learned your lines. You can still call for lines, however. The way to call for lines is to stay in character and simply say, "Line!"

That's expected and it's a normal part of developing a show. But if you break character and say, "Sorry, I knew this last Tuesday, I swear we went through this three times!" it's very disruptive to a rehearsal.

We will permit line calls Until April 5. I'm hoping for the April 7 rehearsal to include a line-through. (That's where we just call out our lines in place instead of trying to run blocking and everything.)
