Students and Novice Stage Managers / Help? Running board and Lights...
« on: Jan 07, 2008, 11:36 am »
Hi Everyone,
So I'm in a stressful situation. I'm a college student(freshman) who has SM'ed 3 out of the 4 years of highschool. I am now working at a small size theatre as SM doing a show consisting of 4 smaller acts
(like 4 smaller shows in one).
I am very comfortable with calling the show, organizing crew to set and strike transitions, I get along very well with the cast and crew.
However I am running the lights and sound and I am new to this area. There are multiple areas where there are very rapid lights and sound cues in succession.
So what I am asking for, is any advice on how to set up the cues in my script and how maybe to get better at multitasking in the booth.
Thanks everyone!
