Students and Novice Stage Managers / Working with a younger cast
« on: Jan 14, 2012, 08:26 pm »
I'm about to start working on a production of Pippi Longstocking at a community theatre. This will be the second show I have SM'ed and I have worked with the company before as well as most of the production team both as a SM and an actor. However, the show will more than likely have a cast that is mostly young children (elementary/middle school). To date, the youngest group of actors I have stage managed is high school students, with which I had already established a working rapport. However, working with a completely new batch of young children makes me a little nervous. Has anyone worked with younger actors and have any words of advice for me?
