This upcoming semester, my theater department and the new director/instructor wants me to act as Production Manager, train future SMs & ASMs (because I am leaving after the school year, and I am the most experienced of the departments two SMs).
My question is what responsibilities of a Production Manager be during rehearsals or in general? I was thinking about asking him what expectations of me as a PM, but i don't want to sound like i'm inexperienced and not capable.
In the past i've already did scheduling with the director and tech staff. I've assumed prop master, costume master and sound designer responsibilities when there wasn't a person for it. I even found people for missing staff positions (to help deal with costumes, props and such).
