: Re: Is there a way to describe casting and costuming notes for a stage play? I am writing a stage play and would like to express my desires for casting and costuming of the characters. For instance,

Dramatis PersonÃ¦

The traditional character list is called dramatis personÃ¦. It's a list of characters (speaking roles) and very brief descriptions (enough to pick them out in the scene), formatted to fit on one page.

This comes at the front, so it can be referred to while reading. No spoilers, you'll want the script to stand for itself. The first read should not have any character prejudice or signaling.

Save this detailed info for a Character Appendix or similar. It won't be appropriate for all script formats. Put it at the end so it can be removed when necessary.
