Introductions / Hello From an Accidental Stage Manager!

« on: Sep 21, 2013, 12:31 am »

Hello!  I've been lurking on this site for a while and finally decided to join.  My name is Sarah, and I am a recent college graduate currently stage managing for both a community theatre and a professional (non-equity) children's theatre (adult actors, young audiences) in CT.  I fell into stage management by accident- my freshman year of college I joined the student theatre group and was asked to ASM one of their shows.  The day before auditions the SM had to drop out due to illness and I was asked to SM, even though my only SM experience was from a project in a theatre class I had taken (we had a very small department!)  I had a blast and never looked back!   

I would like to learn how to be more of a professional stage manager since most of my experience has been with student theatre. 

Thank you!
