SMing in Las Vegas
« on: Jun 11, 2009, 06:13 pm »
Has anyone here worked Vegas already? Do you have any tips for breaking into Stage Managing out there? I'm thinking of moving there after I finish up my current contract on a cruise ship.

Thanks!

Hi -
What type of SMing were you looking for? Vegas has a very wide range. I have worked as a Stage Manager here in town and would be happy to answer any questions you might have. I will say with the current economy there are very few positions open and there is not a lot of movement. I do not know many people that have been successful at moving to Vegas and then finding a job. Most folks here move here for the job. Anyway, let me know what you are looking for and I will see if I can help out.

What cruise line are you working for? I worked for RCI from about 5 years.....but that was about 5 years ago :) - Dani
