Students and Novice Stage Managers / New to the Industry
« on: Aug 10, 2007, 09:51 pm »
I have always been interested in the performing arts, and recently, our church congregation have decided to write and produce a musical. I was offered the positions of not only the director, but also the playwright and stage manager. I am hoping that any experienced professional stage manager or director can lend a hand in telling me what are the basics of producing a musical and things that I need to watch out for.
I am not a professional of industry and is doing this as a personal interest. This musical will be small and free so I want to produce a low-cost musical. Because our first performance will be at the church, the stage will not be professional. However, I want to learn as much as I can about stage management and production management. We have one year to produce it.
Any suggestions and ideas will be greatly appreciated.
