Stage Management: Plays & Musicals / INTERNATIONAL: Who Runs the Tech?
« on: Apr 29, 2007, 06:12 am »
Hi All,
Just curious really... In the 'US Style' of Stage Management (where the SM actually calls the show) who runs the technical rehearsal?
Because in the UK the DSM (Deputy Stage Manager) runs/ calls the show the Stage Manager will run the tech in liason with the DSM on the book and all the designers and ops.
Also just wondering what peoples preferred methods of running techs are. I personally would rather run all the way through (just skipping large monologues) if time allows but if not I'll just go cue-to-cue. But other Stage Managers I know like to go to each entrance/ exit or cue (which ever is first...).
Just curious!
