High School SM Looking For Guidance
« on: Mar 18, 2014, 09:40 pm »
Hello everyone,
My name is Grant Rogers,

I am currently a senior in High School in Louisiana.

My love for Theatre started in my freshman year when I went with our drama department. on a trip to New York City, we saw 4 Broadway shows and I was hooked. I started to realize my place in the Theatre just last year when I was ASM on "Spitfire Grill: The Musical" at my school. My friend Allison was the SM and I have always looked up to her in the Drama Dept. She, as well as our director encouraged me to keep pursuing Stage Management. This past summer, I was ASM on a local community theatre production of "Les Miserables", and I recently just Stage Managed my first show, "Bang Bang, You're Dead" which my department did as part of a high school theatre festival. I am currently working on my second show as Stage Manager, "South Pacific" with my high school drama department. I have been lucky enough to have an AEA Stage Manager, as well as a community theatre Stage Manager as mentors as I embark on my Stage Management journey, and I hope that this site can help me continue to grow as a Stage Manager for years to come as I begin college and beyond.

Thanks for having me!
Grant Rogers
