Ok, that makes a lot of sense. Thank you so much!!

I also have run into some of these issues. Yikes, I didn't even know it was technically illegal to ask for medical information. I typically will ask for allergies and an emergency contact for all the actors, I don't really ask for more info than that.

My question is about the contact list. Is it typically distributed to everyone in the cast and all the tech crew and department heads? I honestly wonder about privacy concerns. Is it bad to send it out to everyone?

What I have done in the past is ask all to let me know if for any particular reason they do not want their contact info (cell phone number) distributed and I'll typically write a short "Please keep this information private and for only for ____ show related things"

A little help?

That's genius! Yes, I should look at Italian or Italian-affiliated companies. Thank you! And, yes, I got a chance to check out the employment board. Unfortunately, it's pretty sparse. I think this is due to the way theatre jobs are often found--since most jobs openings are spread through word-of-mouth...
Thanks for the welcome!

I found this: http://smnetwork.org/forum/students-and-novice-stage-managers/student-stage-manager's-challenge-1/msg17416/#msg17416
by clicking on the link through your username 'PSMKay' and then clicking on "show posts" on the lefthand bar, then searching backwards through your post history. It was on page 56 (of 74). Searching wasn't too difficult because I used my browser's Ctrl + F function. Was this the other way?

After months of just using SMNetwork as a guest, I finally decided to join.

I suppose I joined out of desperation or for a little bit of commiseration. For the first time in almost three months I am unemployed.

I graduated four months ago with a degree in Italian and decided I wanted to try to pursue my totally unrelated dream of stage managing. Having only stage managed twice before moving to the NYC metropolitan area (call me crazy), I was anxious--and still am. It has been an amazing three months. I have worked on four shows in that span (including one for NYCFringe which I was ecstatic about!) And I have learned SO much about being a stage manager. It's really incredible. Bad days and good days, I am happy I have chosen this career.

I know I love what I am doing.
I know I am good at stage managing.
I know I can be great at stage managing.
Just looking for the next step, I suppose.
Hi all :)
