  2. Use technology to your advantage • I suggest using Google Sheets • It allows multiple people to work at once • You're also able to download the app on your phone • Easy access for when you don’t have a computer available • Microsoft Excel also works • Doesn’t have the same advantages as using Google Sheets • Sharing the spreadsheet is more difficult

  3. The Prologue • Before you start making your prop plot • Read through your script • Highlight any and all possible props • Anything the actors interact with • Possible set dressing

  4. Act 1 Scene 1 • Login to your google account • If you don’t have one, I suggest making one • Open google Sheets • Open a blank spreadsheet

  7. Act 1 scene 4 Add check boxes in the empty column you left (click on insert and then checkbox) Add all the props used in Act 1 Add an X in every scene where the prop appears

  8. Act 1 scene 5 Have everyone pick a color and divide up the props 1 Color the checkboxes the same way (use the paint format button to quickly do so) Fill in your build, borrow, buy, have list Add a key so everyone remembers what color they are
