Jessie,
The only requirement for participation is having stage managed one American production in your career. We have already had a couple of responses from stage managers who reside outside the United States. And the only reason we list this requirement is to compare career expectations and preferences/choices that may be based on American union models. Given that groups such as the SMNetwork are becoming increasingly international, we would like to find a way to conduct a global survey in the future.
The survey is primarily focused on theatre, but we do inquire about a stage manager's experiences with opera, dance, concerts, television, and industrials. We would like to ask more questions about working in other fields, but we are trying to keep the total survey to 10-15 minutes.
David.
