Last Sunday Columbus Monthly writer Jackie Mantey volunteered as line prompter for a rehearsal of CATCO’s Murderers and she has posted a blog about her experience on Columbus Monthly.com (registration required). Line prompters join us in rehearsal to feed lines to the actors as needed to help them learn the playwright’s exact words and maintain the continuity of the rehearsal. Murderers requires three actors to memorize an extensive amount of lines, and line prompters have been a critical part of our rehearsal process.
Check out Jackie’s inside take on the play and the personalities, direct from the rehearsal room: This Sunday, I listened to three people share the stories of murders they had committed. And I couldn’t stop laughing.

Thanks to Jackie for volunteering and for sharing her experience with us!
We had a great time with all of our line prompters for Murderers, and I’m glad Jackie enjoyed the experience, too! Thank you so much to everyone who came out and helped!
