Is there some special method to remembering an entire play or movie without having to refer to your lines? I can barely remember one paragraph of lines to the tee, let alone hundreds of pages of lines. Thanks!

It’s just a TON of repeating the lines. I only did one play in high school, but I’ll be honest I was intimidated by how much I had to memorize. For TV shows and movies, you have to remember that not all the scenes are shot at once. So there’s a long period of time from the start of the movie to the end to memorize your lines scene by scene.
For plays it’s different. You have to memorize it all, but you get maybe 3 months (that’s at least how much I got for my play in high school). Now the concept is similar for TV shows and movies. But if you’re reading these lines everyday and repeating scenes then it isn’t surprising hard to memorize. It’s almost like watching the same movie everyday, eventually you’ll have most of the lines memorized.
