Hi everyone! I'm a newbie here and a total newbie as ASM for a musical at a regional theatre. I got into this role because I really wanted to learn more about stage management and to get involved with my passion for theatre. I gone through production meetings, auditions, and callbacks in one piece. But I'm a little nervous about the blocking process during rehearsals. I know basic stage layouts and directions, but whether or not I can block entire scenes efficiently...that remains to be seen. My PSM is leaving me to due all the blocking for the first week of rehearsals, since she's going to be on a trip. Now it's great that she has so much faith in me, but if any of you guys can give me some pointers... I would greatly appreciate it! I thought this was going to be a nice ease in internship into stage management, but it's turning into sink or swim!
Thanks guys!
