Stage Management: Plays & Musicals / Hospitality backstage

« on: May 12, 2006, 03:36 pm »

I am on the road with a tour and we travel a coffee/tea box to each theatre. It is always set up by the props department. Stage Management has no involvment. They have all the usual stuff along with fresh fruit and the fixings for PB&Js. Also there are always bagels and various cream cheese tubs.

Employment / Company Management VS. Stage Management

« on: Mar 21, 2006, 10:10 pm »

I am trying to find others experiences with the line between touring Company Management and Stage Management. When it comes to advancing things like water and phone lines. Stage Management decides the dressing room and office assignments, but are they responsible for getting the phone, fax and internet lines run? And does backstage water fall under Company Management or Stage Management? Lastly, Stage Management sets up their call board, do they also set up Company Management? Or are they on their own?

Thanks.
