Students and Novice Stage Managers / ASM??

« on: Sep 02, 2007, 05:10 pm »

I am a stage management student at a community college. I am the only stage manager at my school and there is really no one to teach me. I'm sming my 3rd show there this semester and unlike previous semester I have peers who are interested in learning about being a sm. All the other shows I've smed I've done by myself with really little to no help. I'm really excited that these students are interested in learning but because I'm the only one with experience I'm expected to teach them. I've signed them on to be my ASMs. I have no idea what the tasks of an ASM are. Since I've always done everything myself I don't know what jobs should be deligated to an ASM.

Can someone please make some suggestions for me. I don't just want to make these students glorified stage sweepers...

Thanks!!
