Tools of the Trade / OneNote

« on: Jul 27, 2010, 08:26 pm »

I was curious if anyone has used the Microsoft Office program OneNote in regards to Stage Management?

If so how have you used it and what benefits of using it have you had on your production process?

Any tips or suggestions about using it are greatly appreciated.

Students and Novice Stage Managers / Stage Manager's Prayer

« on: Jan 01, 2010, 06:16 pm »

I'm a Senior in High School currently SMing my last show their

But when I was a Sophmore and only starting to ASM for productions the current stage manager, whom I consider to be my mentor of sorts seeing as she taught me most of the basics, told me about this prayer. Surprisingly it's helped me though alot of stuff and has always been able to make me smile at what seemed like the lowest points during our productions. Which is why I wish to share it with you now.

Stage Manager's Prayer
Lord grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
the Courage to change the things I can,
and the Wisdom to hide the bodies of those actors I had to kill because they
Pissed Me Off

Tampons. Not only are they great to have if one of your female actors (or possibly even yourself!!) gets their monthly gift a little early. They are also very helpful if you have any form of a liquid spill and dont have any paper towels.
