Just Discovering SMNetwork
« on: Feb 03, 2013, 07:02 am »
Hello, fancy new website!

My name is Rebecca and I just discovered this site while looking for tips to update my resume.

I am about to graduate from Eastern Washington University with a BA in theatre and am currently looking for housed internships in stage management. I love the theatre and have always approached each project looking for a sense of the whole. This attitude has helped me gain a wonderful general education in theatre, especially technical theatre, but also means I have limited experience in each aspect of theatre. I have finally found my passion in stage management and it is time to gain some more experience and hone my future craft.

I am extremely excited to find such an excellent place to connect to other stage managers of all levels!

Hi Rebecca!

I too had a generalized education in theatre during undergrad- it can at times make things harder when your resume is compared to those who have been stage managing for all four years of college. I can just advise you to work your connections and network- Your skills will speak louder than your resume and help you get ahead.

Best of Luck!
