The Plight of a Recently-Graduated Stage Manager: Line Notes

So I currently work in an education setting, the actors and some of the tech assistants are students but the heads of departments are not. My director recently told the cast the importance of line notes. Yes! This is important! There is no denying that! My ASM (a student) made a note to the cast that if they need help with lines or are noticing they are tripping up on a certain line to come to them and they can help! Yes! Good stuff! My director goes on to say that it’s stage management’s responsibility to give the line notes so that the actors don’t have to remember in the moment in the scene when they trip up. And yes, I 100% agree with that, but if an actor is also noticing they are messing up a line and are conscious of it, they can also take responsibility for making a note of it. Sure, we’ll also make a note of it as well and they’ll see it in their line notes, but also, we’re human. The run of the show goes by fast and doesn’t stop for stage management to write a line note down, so sometimes we miss some lines that have been messed up. I feel like, at least in this setting and please note the title, I’m a new grad, we coddle the actors a bit too much. Like I said earlier, I 100% believe line notes are important and are stage managements responsibility, but actors should be reviewing lines, blocking, lyrics, choreography etc everyday for at least a small period of time, they can also notice when they have been saying a line wrong. Again, stage management is only human, we can’t catch every little thing that goes wrong at all times. And on the same train of thought, while in school, I was working on a show where the ASM made the lines notes and sent them out. She had a neat little template and gave very detailed notes that took her a while to make for each of the 6 actors in the show. She’d had a little question at the end of the line note document (ie “what’s the last song you listened to?” “what is your dream vacation destination?”) just to gauge who was actually reading the line notes. I think only two actors regularly answered her questions. Line notes are stage management’s responsibility, I’ll say it till the house comes down, but actors should take responsibility for knowing their lines and such to some degree and shouldn’t need to be so heavily reliant on stage management to tell them when they’ve dropped a line or are mixing up their words.
