Students and Novice Stage Managers / Re: To enter theatre or not to enter theatre

« on: May 23, 2007, 04:58 pm »

I look at stage management as a way of viewing the world. Each part plays into each other part and finding someone who can make the connections out of the chaos then explain it back to everyone. An art, a science, a little haberdashry and a lot of madness filtered through a good bit of logic. Even if you don't end up as an SM the lines of thinking you'll learn by doing it will be well worth it.

Stage Management: Plays & Musicals / Re: Dressing For The Part?

i think every theater is different. For my job at The Hypnodrome during performace I wear a wife beater, oversized 70's light and dark green striped suit jacket, a beat up old top hat, faded blue jeans, and a pair of dirty work boots. Oh yeah and carry around a walking stick and by the end of the show I have a foam clown nose. However, were a small blackbox theater where we only do Grand Guignol. I wouldn't have worn it my first night there and the producers love the outfit. So hey I figure flow with the show.
