Students and Novice Stage Managers / Freelance

« on: Sep 23, 2014, 04:43 pm »

I was wondering if it is difficult to do freelance. How can you secure a job long enough so as not to have a large gap while searching for jobs?
Also how do you file your taxes if you're a freelance stage manager? I've heard some people having difficulties with taxes.

Yes thank you! I was wondering if everyone had to join equity or how you even join. Right now I'm thinking (after graduation) to try and freelance but I'm not sure how that will work out. I would love the opportunity to travel, but I heard that with equity you can only participate with theatres that are in that equity program (or something of the sort).

Hello from Texas! I'm currently a student at Texas A&M and new to the theatre world. I started participating in the theatre productions here at my university during my sophomore year. I have stage managed once and ASM'd probably 3 or 4 times. I've become very interested in pursuing a career in stage management ever since! I will graduate this year and I am scared but excited about going out there to pursue my stage management career  I've been looking into apprenticeships and fellowships (though I'm not really sure what the difference is). I am really interested in wanting to do touring productions (or maybe even go abroad if possible) but I'm not sure where to start. I am also a bit confused as to how equity works. Help!
