The Hardline / Casting for Equity Understudies
« on: Aug 31, 2006, 03:36 pm »
Hi,
I am new to this website and am currently working for the first time as an equity stage manager. The production (musical with cast of 4) has been running for several weeks and only now is looking into the prospect of casting understudies for each role. The show will run for at least 8 more weeks. Please let me know what is the obligation of the stage manager for understudy (equity and non-equity) auditions: Am I obligated to find talent, schedule audition appointments, run the auditions, hire an accompanist, etc.? Any advice on this subject would be greatly appreciated!!
