Students and Novice Stage Managers / Stage Manager Portfolio

« on: Sep 06, 2008, 03:03 pm »

Hey everyone!

I just started my senior year of high school so that means I am just starting to apply to colleges. Some of the schools I am applying to  require portfolios. I've been working of productions for a long time but I just started SMing last year. I have one completed book and it's not really something I would be comfortable showing to a school.

What exactly are schools looking for when they look at prompt books? I am SMing my second production in the coming months and I want it to be something I am proud to turn into a school. Can anyone offer any advice?

Thanks!

Stage Management: Plays & Musicals / FORMS: What should I give my crew?

« on: Jan 13, 2008, 06:03 pm »

i stage manage at a high school. enough said.
during a performance of our last play, Doctor Faustus, one of my stage crew members comes on stage wearing a huge WHITE jacket.
i was so upset.

so, my question. i am going to be more rigid this time with completion of tasks and following of general rules, so i am making a packet to give to my crew members when they sign up.

i already have a typed up list of general duties of each memeber and a guide to general safety in the theatre.

what else do you recommend that i include?
