I watched two rehearsals before tech. The School Director told me where both the lighting and sound cues should be placed. I created a preliminary Cue Synopsis to give to the lighting designer and a Deck Cue Sheet to give to the run crew. During tech, I updated the paperwork each day with the new notes.
