The Green Room / Novels About Stage Management?

« on: Jul 06, 2023, 01:56 pm »

Thank you in advance for your help! I love books about the theatre experience but find them to mostly be centered on actors and would love ones about stage managers and/or tech crew!Its been hard to find good novels about the backstage aspects of theatre but I'm sure there's bound to be some out there. If anyone knows of any, or knows where I could find some I'd be so grateful!

Introductions / Can't wait to have more to share!

I'm young and don't have quite enough experience to have unique tricks or tips to share, but I do have fun and silly stories, that I'm always happy to tell.

My fellow ASM this year knew Morse code fluently and would write messages all over the white boards in the black box and leave them for people to find. Often he'd write lyrics or monologues from our show but it was always fun to pull up my handy Morse code chart and decode his messages.

We also had an actor crochet little worms for the whole stage management team, after a running joke about tapeworms. Mine's named Gertrude!

I'm so excited to learn from this site and expand my growing knowledge of all things stage management! Thank you for creating this fantastic opportunity for community.
