Stage Management: Plays & Musicals / REHEARSALS: Sweeney Todd Rehearsal Dilemma

« on: Sep 08, 2014, 08:38 pm »

I am dealing with a frustrated director and a frustrated set designer/technical director. We are doing Sweeney Todd and the entire set rotates much like the original. The problem is that my director can't keep an idea in his head. I have the set taped down but that isn't enough for him because he has trouble picturing where the stairs are. I have the drawings for him of the different positions and all but he's only now using them despite my constant offering to show them to him.

What I'm really asking is if anyone has ideas how I can make my tape "rotate" so that he can see where these staircases are.

I'm going into tech week for a production of On The Verge. It's the biggest show I've ever done and involves rain and snow and snowballs. Any advice?

Introductions / Another Brand New SM!

« on: Jan 10, 2013, 07:41 pm »

Hi everyone! I am stage managing my first show. I'm in college and its quite a different show. We are doing Alice in Wonderland... (yeah yeah same old same old) but no! We have someone who is writing an original version of it. I think what really makes it unique and I'm not sure how I will keep my sanity is that we are doing 4 performances at THREE different venues in three different cities.
