When I shadowed I sent them an email and we worked out a time. I made a list of questions but I definitely didn't ask all of them. They sort of just told me about their duties the whole time - it went so fast I didn't have a whole lot of time to ask questions!

Thanks for the reply Kay! It's great to know these things.
Post Merge: Mar 17, 2013, 02:46 pmDoes anyone know anything about Iowa's program? I would start with a BA in theatre arts with a focus in stage management and then possibly get an MFA in stage management.

Hi everyone!

I'm trying to make the decision of which college I want to go to and I am interested in Millikin University in Illinois. Does anyone know anything about their program?

Ohhh!! That makes so much more sense now! Thank you so much!

One more question, in one of the spaces it says "bump" rather than a number. What does this mean?

Students and Novice Stage Managers / Stupid Question..

« on: Feb 28, 2013, 10:23 pm »

This is probably going to sound sooo stupid but I'm brand new to stage management. I'm currently reading a stage management handbook and on the master cue sheets there is a "count" section then it will say 10 seconds or something like that. What exactly does this count mean?

I know this is probably one of the most common things used in stage management and I should know it..but I don't!

Thanks in advance for any help!

Thank you all! I am a total theater geek and have been in love with performing as long as I can remember but I recently discovered stage management and I REALLY like it. I am stage managing my high schools spring play and I'm very excited!

Hi! I'm new here and just diving into stage management at the high school level. This site should be very helpful.

The only thing is about my school... we've never really had stage managers. I know this isn't normal and I won't even begin to explain how we've done it in the past but I really want to start incorporating the REAL thing into our shows. The only thing I'm worried about is people thinking I am too controlling or over doing things.

Students and Novice Stage Managers / High School SM

« on: Feb 10, 2013, 01:28 am »

Hi! I'm new to the stage management world and will be stage managing my first school show this spring which is Alice in Wonderland. My question is - in high school, what should I all do being the SM? I understand that in high school the SM's don't do as much as in the professional world. Should I just ask the director what they expect? I am aware of many of the duties that SM's do, but are they all done in high school theater?
