Are there any companies that you have gone back to a number of times? If so, you could include your supervisors/etc from those positions, and then have the more complete list on your resume. If you have those as several examples from your career experience, and more details in your cover letter/resume/interview to flesh things out, that should give them a good idea of what your experience is without listing 50 shows.

I had to do the same thing when applying for my current position- fitting a theatrical-style resume into a traditional work history web form is a pain! I chose a couple of examples, and then included freelance PM work and events work as different positions, since they use different skills. I really tried to tailor my experience to the job posting, so if you have any experience that really lines up with what they are looking for, those might also be good shows to use for this web form.

Good luck!

Employment / Re: resume format
« on: Apr 23, 2019, 07:34 pm »
I have two resumes- one that is mostly a list of productions, and another in a more "narrative" format that lists jobs held, dates, and responsibilities that were associated with the positions. I include my stage management experience as one "job" on this resume, but the responsibilities listed with it are more detailed.

Depending on what kind of job you are applying for, you could create a resume that best fits. For stage management positions, I usually send the "list" format, and for other positions the "narrative" format. Or you could do a combination. For a while I had a "Related Experience" section on the list resume, which had production management/special events positions.

Stage Management: Other / Re: Tips for Outdoor theatre

There are a couple of good threads on this- here's one. You can do a search for "outdoor theatre" (in the upper right-hand corner of the page), or look at the bottom of this page, where it will suggest some related topics.

My number one tip is to stay hydrated! :)

Can you videotape movement sections? To notate it, can you create "landmarks" for yourself within the section?

Hello and welcome, Coral! Sounds like you have your hands full- I would imagine Legally Blonde would keep you pretty busy.
