Students and Novice Stage Managers / Working with my mom???
« on: Jan 05, 2013, 12:56 am »
Okay, well my mom is a trained Royal Academy ballet dancer and she was always involved when I used to dance. I've always asked that she stayed a few feet away from my drama department, as this is "my thing". Last year, I was an ASM for two shows and I recently just finished stage managing my first show this year. Now it's time for our second show to begin and we were in dire need for a choreographer. My mom and the director are somewhat close so my mom agreed to be the choreographer. My question is, how can I still get the cast and crew to respect me when my mom is always around? How can I remain in a professional attitude?? I'm in high school by the way.
