In smaller companies, where there is only one member of the stage management team, the stage manager will attend all rehearsals to create the prompt book. The prompt book contains all blocking and cues as well as all the relevant paperwork for a production. On larger shows, this role is often given to the deputy stage manager.

The stage manager will also liaise with the director about all aspect of the show, especially props.
