This is a sample of the deliverable Rehearsal Grid produces, run on synthetic input. The input is a made-up scene-by-character breakdown for Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest (public domain) and a set of fictional cast conflicts covering two weeks of evening rehearsals. The real product produces the same structure for your production — a conflict-checked calendar, per-role call sheets, and a clash report — from your scene chart and cast availability (by role name only).

Sample Deliverable: Rehearsal Calendar
Below is the draft calendar that Rehearsal Grid produced. Scenes are grouped by French-scene block (character exits/entrances). Priority is given to blocking for multi-character scenes early, then work-throughs and run-throughs.
| Date | Time | Activity | Scenes | Roles Called |
|------|------|----------|--------|--------------|
| Mon 16 | 7–8:30p | Blocking Act I | I.1 (Jack & Algernon), I.2 (add Lane) | Jack, Algernon, Lane |
| Mon 16 | 8:30–10p | Blocking Act I | I.3 (add Gwendolen, Lady Bracknell) | Jack, Algernon, Gwendolen, Lady Bracknell |
| Tue 17 | 7–9p | Work-through Act I, scenes 1–3 | All Act I | Jack, Algernon, Lane, Gwendolen, Lady Bracknell (note: Lady Bracknell is marked unavailable; calendar works around this by starting with scenes she is not in) |
| Tue 17 | 9–10p | Blocking Act II opening | II.1 (Cecily & Miss Prism) | Cecily, Miss Prism |
| Wed 18 | 7–10p | Blocking Act II, scenes 2–4 | (Jack unavailable; schedule skips scenes requiring Jack) | Algernon, Cecily, Gwendolen, Miss Prism, Dr. Chasuble, Merriman |
| Thu 19 | 7–10p | Work-through Act II complete | All Act II | Full cast except Lady Bracknell (unavailable) |
| Mon 23 | Entire cast unavailable – no rehearsal scheduled |
| Tue 24 | 7–8p | Blocking Act III | III.1, III.2 | Jack, Algernon, Gwendolen, Lady Bracknell, Miss Prism, Dr. Chasuble, Merriman (Cecily called 7–9p only) |
| Tue 24 | 8–10p | Run-through Acts I & II | (No Cecily after 9p; schedule ends 10p) | Jack, Algernon, Gwendolen, Lady Bracknell, Miss Prism, Dr. Chasuble |
| Wed 25 | 7–10p | Full run-through with all scenes | All acts | All roles (no conflicts reported) |
| Thu 26 | 7–10p | Dress rehearsal | All acts | All roles |
Sample Call Sheet: Jack Worthing
Jack is called for 6 of 8 possible rehearsal evenings. His one conflict (Wed 18) is respected; he is not called that night.
- Mon 16: 7–10p (Act I blocking)
- Tue 17: 7–10p (Act I work-through)
- Wed 18: Not called (conflict)
- Thu 19: 7–10p (Act II work-through)

Sample Clash Report (Unavoidable Conflicts)
The solver could not avoid the following situation:
Clash 1: On Tue 17, Lady Bracknell is unavailable but every other Act I role is available. The schedule places Lady Bracknell's non-appearance scenes (I.1, I.2) early, and does not call her until she can appear (I.3 work-through on Thu 19). This works, but if the director wants Lady Bracknell present for all Act I blocking, the only alternative is to move that day to another date — however, no other date has all those actors free simultaneously. The report suggests: (a) accept the split; (b) schedule an additional Friday session if venue available; (c) shift to a read-through of Act I without blocking on Mon 16 and block on Thu 19 (but that loses a night).
Clash 2: On Tue 24, Cecily is available only until 9p. The schedule calls her for the first hour (Act III blocking) and releases her by 9p. The run-through portion after 9p excludes her scenes. Alternative: a longer rehearsal on Mon 23 is impossible (all unavailable). No other date works.
Note on conflicts: The two remaining clashes are logistical compromises, not errors. Both are flagged in the availability-verification table so the stage manager can confirm each call matches the conflict list.
