I know the SM Department head there as well. She's amazing.

Stage Management: Plays & Musicals / Re: Gratuitious Paperwork

« on: Sep 18, 2008, 12:46 pm »

Personally, I like making lots of paperwork (although I am definitely "one of those young stage managers") - it helps me get a better grip on everything I need to know for the show by breaking the information down, even if I have it all already. 

Totally and completely agree. It helps me know the show better when I have to write everything out myself. It's also nice to have everything in my hand, in ways that I understand it.

Has anyone heard anything from UMKC? From their website, the 2-year program looks promising... but haven't heard much about them.

Stage Management: Plays & Musicals / MORALE: Pumping up actors

« on: Jul 25, 2008, 10:35 am »

Working on a professional, but non equity show (the musical Assassins) with a cast of 14.  Preshow the cast has a group warm-up.  The past few shows they have been low on energy... is there anything anyone has had success with in terms of pumping up a cast?  What sucks is that after warmups we have 30 minutes of open house and they have to relax.

Suggestions?

College and Graduate Studies / Grad Schools for SM... tuition stipend?

« on: Jan 04, 2008, 03:24 pm »

Hello,

I haven't heard anything about this before, but I was wondering if there are any grad schools that provide a stipend for tuition for an SM graduate program. I've only heard about it in the music graduate programs.. but I didn't know if there was anything in stage management as well.

Thanks!
