Hey Everyone :)
« on: Feb 19, 2014, 07:51 pm »
Hey guys my name is Sarah Marino and I'm a junior in highschool! I've just recently decided to pursue the career of stage managing, and I know I'm young but I hope I can learn a lot from all you veterans on here 
Ill be stage managing my high school's spring musical: Hello, Dolly!   

This past year I was chosen as a member of tech/run crew/set crew (I've heard many terms for it) for the Illinois High School Theatre Association Production, Grapes of Wrath. I was even recognized my the illinois House of Representatives. This is my greatest accomplishment of my young theatre life so far. I'm very excited to learn :)

Fun Quinkydink: my initials are SM just like SM for stage manager, so I guess I'm qualified :)

Hello SM the SM from Illinois! I'm KC the former SM from Illinois.

.. .close enough, right?

Erm anyhow. Congrats on the recognition from Springfield, it's good to know our elected politicians are doing something to encourage the performing arts and that the actions they're taking are well-received in return by the students.

11th grade is very early to have made up your mind about a career. This is not said to dissuade you - far from it - but to encourage exploration of open doors while they're still open for you. At that age I wanted to be a director but things changed rapidly over the next 5-6 years. I'd say, keep your options open and make sure to get some experience at the professional level - even via an observation/shadowing sort of arrangement - before you jump in with both feet.

Have fun exploring, don't be afraid to ask us questions and offer your own advice from your experience.
