Greetings all,
I was going to write a lengthy post about how I got into stage managing, why I love it, etc, etc but instead I'll just keep it short and sweet with this tip.
For shows that have long periods of time where certain actors aren't on stage, print out therapeutic coloring pages designed for adults. Add a box of Crayolas and you have a happy, quiet, backstage and will probably accumulate more than a few homemade pieces of artwork from affectionate actors.
Can't wait to get to know you all,
