I memorize lines with a tape recording.  I record the lines for all the actors and play it before I fall asleep at night.  I put music between the scenes I am in.  Since I have usually played bit parts and done props or dressing at the same time, I may have been more concerned with getting the lines right than doing a great job acting.  The one show in which I had a bigger part, I did not work with a tape, and frequently forgot a key line (even missed an entrance).  But I was directing too, which was a HUGE mistake.

Sometimes when a cast is off script but still struggling to remember lines, and that struggle slows down our rehearsals; I have resorted to a speed reading rehearsal. It stresses the picking up of cues. It is read vs reciting lines. So by have them read it at dbl speed....they seem to become more aware of their cues and generally it helps us immensely!
