Stage Management: Plays & Musicals / Re: REPORTS: Referring to Stage Manager IN the report
« on: Apr 13, 2011, 05:35 pm »
As a Stage Manager in the UK, I have had to write numerous show reports following a performance.
If a remark concerns an actor/opera singer, I always refer to them by their surname: "Mr. Bloggs missed a cue line on page 98, causing SQ18 (Dog Bark) to be cued late."
If a remark concerns a member of Stage Management, I always refer to them by their management title: "During act one a circuit breaker tripped switching off two lanterns, the Stage Manager was able to reset the trip switch, solving the issue. The two lanterns were not operational for approx. 3 minutes." I write in this way even if the note concerns myself.
I hope this is useful!
