So I'm a student at the University of Miami where I'm PSMing Brighton Beach Memoirs in the round. This will be my first time calling a show and I just found out I'll be calling from behind a scrim. We go into tech on Tuesday and I'm really nervous about the whole process. I've always been an ASM so being out in the front makes me a little nervous. Any words of wisdom or advice for my first time teching and calling (especially in the round?!)
Thanks so much!!!

Had my second rehearsal tonight as a bonafide stage manager (last semester I ASMed). And you'd think with all the time I spend lurking around these boards that I wouldn't have made the two small mistakes that I made tonight.
First, I only had one pencil, and of COURSE one of my actors needed one.
And...I forgot to call breaks
Ah well! Lesson learned!
It finally got cold enough in NYC to very briefly flurry today. I can't believe it's Jan. 10th and that's the first snow here I've seen. According to the weather people, it's supposed to be warm again this weekend. I miss my winter.
Yup... we have the same problem here in Seattle - no smoking. Period.
I did Seven year Itch a couple months ago, and the script calls for a lot of smoking but we were able to cut out some of it... We couldn't cut all of it, though, since there are some references to smoking in the show. The fake cigarettes looked so tacky and... fake.
