I have been stage managing professionally for four years and I think it is time for something new. I am 21 and I don't have a degree. (Educational theatre and I don't mix.) I think I want to go on tour, but I don't really know what to do. I'm a stagehand at a couple of different theatres so I've met a lot of people and gotten a lot of different opinions about being on tour, and I think I want to go. Any tips on what to do, or who to call? I don't know a lot of people currently on tour, so anything will help. Thanks in advance.

Hey Deb! Are you still at Surflight? (Remember? I was the awful ASM?
I am actually looking to go on tour also. I've done a few little things with Theaterworks (their touring office is next to where I work now) and so far really like them. I'm hoping to do a tour with them. It sounds like a manageable step between what I'm doing now and doing a big tour. It's a small group, and a lot of it is planned in advance by Theaterworks. Personally, I don't feel ready for a giant truck-and-bus outfit, so this one looks like a step in the right direction.
Glad you opened up this topic- definitely looking into all the suggestions!
