Hey all,
Just adding an intro so I won't be a stranger. I'm almost entirely new to theater and stage management. I work for an all-volunteer DIY theater group in Baltimore that produces original, live rock opera shows. I stepped in as stage manager for our last production (March 2014) after the original stage manager had to step down when complications with her paying job arose. With a cast of 24, a six-member live band, and two touring weekends, it was definitely a trial-by-fire, but I wouldn't trade it for anything.
I am now stage managing my third production and still looking for ways to improve. I'm glad I stumbled upon this website; I'm sure I'll find lots of useful information here.
Thanks!
Debra
