Students and Novice Stage Managers / Line Runs
« on: Oct 18, 2017, 11:31 am »
Hi SM Network.

I've been asked to conduct a line run with our cast while the director is absent from the day's rehearsals. I've never done one of these before, and although it's pretty self-explanatory, does anyone have any advice or on how to set it up? Since it's a focus on lines, I presume that it's generally done without blocking. My plan is to tell the actors that they're welcome to mark their tracks as we go along but to not worry about any props/set pieces.

Employment / Jobs Between Contracts
« on: Aug 10, 2017, 10:46 am »
Just curious what other people in the stage management industry do for income when they don't have a contract lined up.

I just graduated and I was lucky enough to have summer SM employment right away, but now I have no leads for the rest of the year, and possibly until next summer. I've had interest but nothing solid, so something may pop up, but I'm not sure what I'm going to do until then. I could apply for a job in retail or at a restaurant or something, but I feel like no one will hire me if they know I might disappear as soon as I get offered a SM gig.

Looking for advice or just stories of your experience!
