Students and Novice Stage Managers / Re: Balancing humor and seriousness as a university stage manager

I think in any creative environment, finding the balance between disciplined work and lighthearted moments is an art form in itself. A stage manager who is all business all the time potentially creates a solemn work environment which is not conducive to a spirit of teamwork or creativity. On the other hand, it is the stage manager's job to keep the group focused and on track to complete tasks in a timely fashion. Only trial and error can teach people how to manage this.
