Hi everyone! New here, yet been in the control booth for a few years now...

Started dancing ballet at the age of 12 and moved around HighSchools around the world to train. left the ballet world in 2016 after 4 years with Alabama Ballet for a 4.5 years B.A. in Production Design at Birmingham-Southern College. Now I'm seated Production Manager for Ballet Arkansas which ends up as Stage Manager / Production Designer for all company Productions.

Happy to be here and hope to find some great pointers and references from my fellow Control Booth Buddies!

Yeah, it hasn't gotten as much traffic in the last couple years (with the primary communication often happening on Facebook or other platforms), but there's still a lot of good stuff here. Welcome!

I have done a few productions as a stage manager, but usually on a very low level.  My first production as a stage manager they literally had me come in 2 weeks before opening and they just wanted me to call the show, nothing else.  I've been learning a lot since then and I've been taking a free course because I have found that I love this aspect of theatre.  I accidentally stumbled on this website while looking for examples of preproduction forms.  I've been obsessed ever since.  You all are amazing and I'm learning so much! Thank you!

I'm introducing myself to this forum. I am an elementary music teacher by day and my side gig from time to time is Stage Managing. I get lots of compliments on my stage managing abilities, but I have no formal training, so I'm always looking for advice or better ways to do things. I've stage managed, asm'd, produced, worked crew, etc mostly in community theatre settings, but recently have been asked to stage manage at a local branch campus of a pretty big University. I'm pretty proud of that fact.

Trivia/Fact: I stage managed the premiere production of The Scarlet Letter: A Musical at Theatre Harrisburg. The musical was a collaboration between college friends and developed at workshops in Boston, NYC, and DC before being fully produced for the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. The collaborators expanded the show into a two-act show with full orchestra and staging. It was an AWESOME experience.

I'm looking forward to connecting with other stage managers on this forum.
