About
Rehearsal 2 is the industry standard tool for professional actors to work with television and film scripts, and to memorize their scenes and study scenes for auditioning and performance.
Rehearsal has been used by over 50,000 actors worldwide, and has been featured in The New York Times, Fast Company Magazine and countless actor-related blogs and news sources. Rehearsal was developed by David H. Lawrence XVII with the hard work, support and talent of Brian Robbins’ Riptide Games.
Watch this video: a step by step walk through of how Rehearsal is used in a typical scene rehearsal scenario.
Any chance of building a module for stage managers to give line notes? I would love to have an iPhone app (or even better, an iPad app) that would allow me to highlight missed/incorrect lines and compile them into a form for each actor. E-mail me for details on this request.
Help — How can I delete a scene? Haven’t found it anywhere. Edit doesn’t do it. . .
Thanks,
Adria
Wow, this is a wonderful app! I know a lot of people who could use this, but I am not sure how i can use it in my situation. My wife (not me) does community theater and is a hs drama teacher. It seems to me that the only way to get a script on my iPad for her to use would be to type the entire thing and send it to you guys. am I wrong or is there an easier way to get a play script on Rehearsal?
Thanks!
Please read the manual online that talks about adding a script – it’s as simple as emailing the PDF of the script to the email address you’re assigned when you register.
Hey Dave – great app! We’re gonna get this for our daughter to use on her iPod.
Question – what application did you use to record the ‘how-to-use-rehearsaltheapp’ video on? It’s really cool.
Thanks!

David, thanks…and I used iMovie – there happened to be a Comic theme, complete with transitions, that suited our look and feel. You already have what you need!
Hi! I love the app. Quick question: it looks like I’m going to have to restore my ipod. If the scripts aren’t in the app once I reinstall everything, are they saved in my account on your server so that I can download them again?
Thanks!

Sorry this took so long for me to answer, but the answer’s changed since you first asked. With Rehearsal (version 1), yes, because the only way you could get scripts onto your device to work with was to forward them via email to your “script+username” email account on our server. But…and this is important…with Rehearsal 2, you can open PDF files directly from the email message you get them in. Although that’s very convenient, we still suggest that you forward your script to the Rehearsal server so they are there should you upgrade to a new device, the device fail, or, as you, Julia, have to do, restore your device to original specs. If you only open scripts from your email messages on your device, THEY ARE NOT BACKED UP on our server (encrypted, yes), and can’t be brought back in.
Hope that’s clear.
How do I transfer a script that has notes on it from my old iPad to my new ipad?
Karl – You can’t…yet. We’re working on it. We have a list of over 200 enhancements suggested by users, and that one is in the top 3. So, for now, you can’t, but we’re hoping to roll that out in one of our next major upgrades.
Why can’t I email a script out PCMCIA program with my mark-ups for when I need a hard copy in my hand?
I’m not sure what the reference to PCMCIA is (that’s a blast from the 90′s), but we are working on a metafile format that will let you do that and more in a future update. Rehearsal is designed to be self contained – I always print out a hard copy of the PDF I receive, highlight it, and carry it into the audition room for pre-reads just to have it on hand, but I never have to use it.
Edit works, actually. Tap Edit, then tap the (|) next to the scene you want to get rid of, then confirm by hitting the Delete button that appears. (That same procedure works when you want to delete scripts in My Scripts.) Hope that helps!

I’m curious – would the app also work on my Imac?
No, Rehearsal is an iOS app only – iPhones, iPads and iPod Touch.
A version for other platforms would be nice. I’d be interested in versions for Android and Linux. I guess others would be interested in Windows and Windows mobile. i.e. coverage for the most all the most common platforms for portable devices rather than just Apple devices.
