Students and Novice Stage Managers / Community Theater

« on: Mar 30, 2009, 03:01 pm »

Hey SMNet
I am currently a high school junior in New Jersey looking to get more experience with stage management -- so far i've looked at a few community theaters but i'm not sure how to start.

who should i contact? house manager? production manager?
what's the best way to go about doing it?

i know better than to expect to get paid, and i have experience as light technician, set builder, running crew member, assistant stage manager (high school productions) and assistant prop mistress (not in construction). i'd appreciate all your advice

thanks, everyone

If it help you to answer, I want to go in for SM but i'd like to learn about other aspects of theater as well, so i'd like a college that lets me dabble around a bit - love doing musicals, have a soft spot for dance, like opera, cool with plays, and i want as much hands-on experience as possible
thanks, everyone who posts!!
