Students and Novice Stage Managers / Re: Just because I'm young doesn't mean I can't be professional

Hi crazychicks rudeness knows no age limits! I'm 73 and have been SMing since HS in nearly every kind of venue and I get put downs like "you're too old to be a SM  all too frequently (I also direct and design but really enjoy(?) SMing). My son says "I'm old but fun to watch." And he has seen me in some pretty demanding backstage situations. I get along with people much younger than I because we respect each others area of expertise and focus on producing a great show. I also make some good side money as the designated driver after cast parties.
