Students and Novice Stage Managers / Re: Dress blacks and what is or is not acceptable
« on: Nov 20, 2014, 12:31 pm »
I know it's not as common any more for SMs and those in the booth - but wearing blacks also gives you a bit of a pass with touring and other places where folks may not know you. I have found that wearing stage blacks is like a ticket in, a universally recognized secret password to maneuvering without being blocked.

Amusingly, I just watched a bunch of Jeopardy folks more or less crash and burn on a theater category.

The Green Room / Re: Happy International Stage Manager Day!
« on: Oct 12, 2014, 10:47 pm »
amusingly, in listing it as Oct 10 (so it rotates days) some folks asked why 10/12 hadn't been chosen - and we agreed that amusing as that was, it referenced a long, long work day and we'd rather have a moment to celebrate.

(there are senior reps in each office - in LA it's Joe Garber - but as to ultimate and supreme reps? Well, we each have our opinions, but I believe we have a few unofficial ones....)

dlenik - have you checked through our rather massive collection of forms? There are all kinds of great examples, and you can find one that matches the way your brain works and adjust it to your needs accordingly -

Students and Novice Stage Managers / Re: Shadowing experience thank you gift
« on: Sep 18, 2014, 12:05 pm »
I always bring baked goods. They are on the road, and heaven knows the SM team rarely gets the appreciation and acknowledgement they deserve, and they have weight and size limits on adding anything to their luggage, but a home-baked banana bread or a batch of toll house cookies are gone by the next day.....

Employment / Re: "...interviewing locals only..."?!
« on: Sep 11, 2014, 01:10 pm »
Matthew's point is well-taken. I lost an out-of-town job that required an in-person interview because I was working in a different state (and, in fact, in the only casting day of a show I was directing on the same day they wanted to schedule the interview). Despite offers to Skype, phone in or reschedule, they were adamant.

Employment / Re: "...interviewing locals only..."?!
« on: Sep 08, 2014, 03:14 pm »
Hate to say it, but welcome to the real world. For example, the largest theaters in San Diego hire only those within 50 miles (eg commuters who don't need housing) ... or from their casting call in NYC (with rare but occasional exception). Many LA-area actors, directors, producers and stage managers complain regularly about having to move to NY in order to get theater work in LA. On the flip side, there was a recent complaint by NYC TV writers that the folks only hired Hollywood-based folks for their scripts. "Locals only" happens way too often, and all the time.

On the one hand, it is a good thing for local AEA members to have a leg up on out-of-towners. It is their town, after all, and their intent is to make a living doing what they love where they are. But it also means folks from out of town (well, other than NYC) feel like there is no chance for them. It's a very challenging balancing act.

The Green Room / fun article on edible props
« on: Sep 08, 2014, 12:24 pm »
http://www.props.eric-hart.com/reprints/edible-props-1987/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+eric-hart%2FXWsp+%28Props%29

(Thanks Ruth E Kramer!)

When we did The Real Thing, the director wanted the audience to see the mimosa's being made - and drunk - in their traditional clear champagne glasses, but our lead was allergic to OJ, so we pulverized sweet orange peppers and mixed them with our sparkling stand-in for champagne. The actors said it was actually not bad!
