Abstract
Organization is often the downfall in a large undertaking. Accurately, that downfall is usually a lack of organization, and in gathering properties for a show in the theatre, I often find myself letting things fall through the cracks and be forgotten . This is not an acceptable situation for a properties master, and thus a bible must be kept. This bible serves two purposes. Firstly, it organizes the worker's efforts into one location. Secondly, it means that the properties master has a record of everything that happened in a meeting so that if something did not get mentioned, the properties master is not the person left to take the blame. A bible includes the script of the show (with the properties master's notes), each printed edition of the properties list (also with notes), all notes from each production meeting, rehearsal, and performance of the show, and the research that was done by the properties master on props images and history, as well as past productions and their reviews.
