Hello,

I have heard for years about exploring this route and I am now at a place when I have the time to pursuit it. I have a lot of info but I would love to hear from someone who has gone through the process.

Could I PM you and pick your brain and get a bit of advice?   

THANK YOU SO MUCH IN ADVANCE!

Hi all!

I will be getting my equity card soon! (I have yet to sign and speak with AEA)

I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions of things I should look out for or do as I transition into an AEA SM.  Is there anything you wish you knew when you first joined?

Any words of wisdom and advise is greatly appreciate it!

Thank you!

Employment / Quotes for SMing Events

« on: Nov 30, 2015, 01:25 pm »

Hi!
I was wondering if you guys can help me figure out what do people do in the following case. I've been approached to SM an event and they are asking me to send them my quote.
I usually SM showcases and College Dept productions and the payment ranges from $500-2000, So I'm not exactly sure what to charge for a day. This is the description they sent me:

- Includes load in and set up for Main Stage in time for 2 pm sound checks & rehearsals, 6:30 dinner break and 7:45 room opens / live band until 11 pm; then breakdown (7am to Midnight)
- Will provide two PA's as ASM and two PA's as runners during program
one in person production meeting prior to event as well as customary email and phone contact as needed
- A stipend is provided for the Stage Manager position

Any info regarding your experience would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!!!
