Littlelammoth Introduction
« on: Mar 29, 2013, 04:09 pm »
Hello everyone!

My name is Amy and I'm an early career stage manager. I began working as an SM in college, dove right into a full-scale production of Godspell first crack out of the barrel as a mid-term project for a stage management class and never looked back. I worked steadily through the remainder of my college career on large scale musicals. Additionally, I was an SM for two summer children's theater productions and had my first professional summer stock experience working as an ASM. After college, I completed a Stage Management internship at the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis and stayed on as a child supervisor for several months. At the conclusion of my internship, I moved back home and was able to stage manage a university production of The Glass Menagerie followed quickly by a community theater position where I worked as an SM on three consecutive shows in a three week period (one full-scale musical, one musical review and a one woman one act). My next adventure will be working as an ASM at The Lost Colony starting in early May.

I'm hoping to use SMNetwork as a tool for making connections and gleaning as much knowledge as I can from the many forums. It's my goal to spend some time traveling across the country from theater to theater to learn as much as I can from as many different sources as possible before settling down at a regional theater I can call home. Thank you for your time and I'm excited to see what comes of this!

Hi and welcome, Amy! It sounds like you have a lot going on. I hope you'll share some of your experiences for others to benefit from.  Particularly summer stock- since the season is fast approaching, I'm sure lots of SMs will be looking for advice about it.

Check out the Regional boards for some info on working in different areas of the country!

Hello and welcome to SMNetwork, Amy.  Several staff members and interns at my current theatre spent a summer or two at Lost Colony and have great things to say about the experience; hope it proves to be a wonderful adventure for you.  You've come to the right place for connecting with other stage managers; we're excited to have you join the conversation.
