Students and Novice Stage Managers / Director Dilemma

« on: Jun 23, 2009, 12:07 am »

So my director does not trust me in the least, mostly because I'm so young (high school)...
I do see where he's coming from, as i don't have a whole lot of experience - but it's not like the shows we do are that extensive. Anyways, i know i'm capable, and really, i'm here to learn - but the director just wont let me do my job. He doesnt really want me in rehearsal, and tells most of the vital information to his 'assistant', the guy he really trusts. That, or he doesnt know what a stage manager's job actually is. What do i do? How do you handle situations like this?

Hey SMs, hows life??
So my old drill, which was a dewalt (not my top brand) is completely destroyed. Im getting a new one pretty soon, and i'm thinking of getting a makita, but i'm not sure. Anyone have any tried-and-true favorites?

I know SCAD has a theater program, but one of my friends who went there told me their credit's dont transfer. be careful about going there, if you don't like it, you have to start over from scratch
