Stage Management: Plays & Musicals / PROPS/EFFECTS: Small Explosive Device?

« on: Dec 17, 2016, 06:19 pm »

Does anyone have any suggestions for how to create a small, non-damaging or dangerous explosive device? It needs to be an obvious explosion, and preferably not leave any obvious evidence onstage afterward.

Introductions / First Time SM, Hello World!

« on: Jul 31, 2015, 09:43 pm »

Hi everyone! My name is Becca, and I'm just about to start rehearsals for a Broadway review in my area. It's community theatre, and this will be my first time ever stage managing a show. I've done almost every other relatable position (ASM, PA, Wardrobe Supervisor, Sound Board Op., etc.), but I was just wondering if anyone has any advice for a newbie. I've already gotten started by meeting with my director, prepping my SM kit, rehearsal and performance reports, contact sheets, prop sheet, and a few other forms. I'm hoping to be fully prepared by the time the cast has been decided. I'm excited for this new opportunity, but also more than a little nervous!
