Synopsis
The person that holds together all of the production elements of theatre work is the stage manager. This is the person responsible for the form and discipline of rehearsal and performance, for maintaining working script, cue sheets and daily records. They are also responsible for the supervision of the technical and artistic aspects of production. In this book, an experienced stage manager discusses his craft from the standpoint of technical nuts and bolts information and insights drawn from his career in Broadway, Regional and Summer Stock. Various chapters discuss pre-production, the rehearsal period, technical rehearsals and mounting the show, maintaining a show, as well as offering detailed guidelines on how to get work. The text is supported by sample documents, diagrams, and charts showing the relationship of the stage manager to others in the theatrical chain of command.
