"Chris Rock has confessed that he assumed stage actors read their lines off a teleprompter.  The Death At A Funeral star made his Broadway debut in Stephen Guirgis&amp;#039;s The Mother... In The Hat back in April, but was shocked to discover that he would need to invest time in the show&amp;#039;s script.  He recalled on Friday&amp;#039;s edition of The View: &amp;quot;I assumed at some point, and this is how ignorant I am, that there would be cue cards on Broadway.  &amp;quot;I thought that [the producers] were just hiding them from me for now, but surely when we get to opening night there would be a teleprompter or something. The words would be somewhere for me to read. [I mess up my lines] all the time!&amp;quot; Despite his initial confusion about the workings of the show, Rock went on to receive high praise from his Hat co-star Annabella Sciorra.  &amp;quot;Chris is great. Chris is really disciplined,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;Chris really really wanted to do a play. I think [the show] really struck him because it was urban and current.&amp;quot; Rock admitted in March that he took the role in order to stay close to his family.
