Stage Management: Other / Creating a Handbook

« on: Sep 24, 2011, 05:17 pm »

I am now the resident stage manager at a professional company and also the production coordinator and one of my extra duties is to create a handbook for other stage managers, because I can't do every show.
I was wondering if anyone had to do this before and if they had a basic outline. I'm just not sure how to organize/approach this manual.

Thanks,

Stage Management: Plays & Musicals / ASMS: AEA Actors as ASMs

« on: Mar 27, 2011, 03:55 pm »

Has anyone worked with an AEA Actor as an ASM? I am doing Most Happy Fella next and was told by the producer that since it's a musical and they don't have enough $ to hire an AEA ASM they are going to use one of the actors. I'm really just kind of wondering what to expect from them, as is my fear that they really won't be as useful as a regular asm (AEA or non).

Tools of the Trade / Favorite Bag

« on: Mar 01, 2011, 04:18 pm »

OK so I have a tackle box that I use for my kit, but sometimes I just need my laptop script etc, but had a difficult time finding the right one that could hold enough, wasn't freakin expensive, and rugged enough.  I have found it from a company called Think Geek, it's called the Bag of holding.  It holds EVERYTHING!  http://www.thinkgeek.com/computing/bags/aaa5/ 

Anyone have one they love?

The Hardline / Equity and Checks

« on: Oct 07, 2010, 05:33 pm »

I have scoured the NEAT contract for Equity and can't find where it says anything about Stage Managers and handing out checks.  Does anyone know where this rule is, or is it just a tradition passed down?
