Stage Management: Plays & Musicals / Re: PEOPLE: ASM-ing for an Equity SM Returning to Theatre

Have you had a conversation with your SM asking exactly how you can help? Specific job assignments could lead to a conversation about individual strengths, which could segue way into individual weaknesses, which would help in a variety of ways. If you have tried before, this situation about not CC'ing the SM with the paperwork you sent out (which you most definitely should have) may open the door to revisit the topic of how you can help your SM.

Can you simply take a few measurements from the lip of the stage and set daily mandatory spikes?

If the actor repeats the "flub" I give the note.
So no, not after every show - after a repeated mistake and not just a brain fart

Students and Novice Stage Managers / Re: Low tech crew morale - can I do anything?

« on: Mar 18, 2019, 09:44 am »

I, too, feel for you.
You cannot change the actions of others; you can only change your response to them.
Some people are a-holes - grasping at straws and hanging on for dear life. Their situation is a scary one.

Always respect yourself and your sense of right and wrong. Learn from EVERY experience. GROW...
Allow others their path. Stay true to your own...
