Students and Novice Stage Managers / Re: Multiple Shows at once....

« on: Jan 18, 2016, 11:02 am »

I am so sorry that I haven't responded sooner. 

On paper, they are two different production companies.  One is a local company where I live and the other is the theater dept for the community college.  The tricky part is a lot of the production teams overlap the same people a lot of the time.  All three shows had some bumps along the way and I unfortunately let some paperwork slip by (due to being overwhelmed after a certain point).  I know the mistakes I've made and know what I have done wrong to correct for next time.

I even sent an email to the director apologizing.  Not sure if that was the right thing to do, however, it made me feel a whole lot better.

Stage Management: Plays & Musicals / TECHNOLOGY: When no longer using an email for a show.....

« on: Jan 18, 2016, 10:21 am »

I am not sure if someone had already posted something about this, I had a hard time finding it.

I was taught to create separate email addresses for each show that I do so as not to confuse anything or anyone.  Once is a show is over, I was told to create an automatic response email to inform whomever the show is over and they can contact me at a secondary email if need be.  I am having difficulty finding an example of what to write in the body of this email.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

Students and Novice Stage Managers / Multiple Shows at once....

« on: Sep 01, 2015, 04:16 pm »

Hi All, this is my first post on the site; however the resources  have helped me out so many times!!! Thank you for all your help and suggestions.

I come to you looking for some advice.  Long story short: I am essentially working three shows at once!  I am in rehearsal for The Fantasticks (opens 9/25), in pre production for August: Osage County (opens 1/8/16) and Lady Windermere's Fan (opens (12/4). 

I am a relatively new stage manager (as these shows are my first since graduating college).  I am confident in my skills to know that I can do all of these productions (done one at a time).  Any suggestions as to how to juggle 3 shows? Or am I totally and completely out of my mind?  I have separate email addresses for each show.  And thankfully, it is the same director for all 3 productions.
