Students and Novice Stage Managers / Working with a fellow student SM?

« on: Oct 20, 2012, 04:01 pm »

I'm the assistant stage manager for a show at my school and have worked with a fellow student who is a year older and the stage manager for two years.  However, in those two years we've never managed to be anything other than awkward passive aggressive co-workers. There is a complete lack of communication (which has ended with one of us looking like idiots more than once).  We've managed to scrape by on two shows already but I don't know if I can stand a whole other production with no one telling each other anything, never knowing if something's been done or it's still to be done, etc.  I'm tired of looking like an idiot in front of the director and have no idea how to go about improving this working relationship.

Please note that working together on this show cannot be changed and it is a full-scale production, albeit, a high school one.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
