Students and Novice Stage Managers / Re: Shadowing: General Q&A

« on: Jun 21, 2011, 10:34 pm »

Hey, I am a high school student living near Chicago. I might have missed this but is shadowing just for touring productions? Also, can you only shadow PSM's or can you shadow others?

Thanks!

If a lead actor was not able to perform, I would probably consult the cast/director first to find some that is familiar with the show. Given that "Benjamin" got pulled out during the pep rally, that would leave several hours before call to prep a new actor that at least knows some of the show. Placing sheets of the script around the set might also help. If the actor is not ready enough to come perform then they could be allowed on stage with a script. Other thing that could happen is have the the SM (me) or the ASM go out with a script because both should be familiar with the blocking/show to not botch it completely.

It might have been wise for the "Benjamin" to have saved his war protests until after show weekend...
