Students and Novice Stage Managers / Troubleshooting Procedures during Performance
« on: Feb 13, 2013, 11:57 am »
Hello, I am currently working on a production where the producer has asked me for a list of things which could go wrong on or back stage during a performance and the procedures to be followed for each issue. This is the result of a performance where we had several mic issues and the situation was not "adequately handled by the backstage crew." My ASM backstage and 1 stagehand have not worked in a theatre environment before.
We have 4 actors with microphones, many props including liquids, rolling set pieces, quick changes, sound effects including songs because it is a musical, as well as moving lights.
The number of things which could go wrong would be a novel. What would you suggest are some of the bigger issues that could happen so I have something to show that these issues can be handled?
