Turns out reddit has some decently active theatre subsections! Found this article posted over there, and thought it might be of interest here as well.

Homework Help / Deadline August 19th, 2013: SM research study

« on: Jul 04, 2013, 10:50 pm »

Attending school at: Boston University
Instructor: Emily Barman (research mentor)
Training level: Undergrad
Project due date: August 19th, 2013

Questions:
This summer I am conducting research for a project on managers within theatrical organizations.

I want to explore the types of interactions between varying types of managers and the remainder of their production staff. As far as I know, this will be the first sociological study focusing on stage managers, company managers and production managers. I hope the results will be useful for both professionals and academics.

As part of this process I am seeking stage managers for in-person (Boston area) or phone/Skype research interviews. Interviews could last anywhere from 30-90 minutes depending on the information that you bring to the table. If you are interested in participating or would like more information, please contact me at sarah.lowe.sociology@gmail.com.

Introductions / Hi!

« on: May 14, 2013, 08:39 pm »

Hello, I'm one of those people who've been lurking around the forum for a while and finally made an account  My name is Sarah, and I'm a Junior at Boston University, majoring in both Theatre Arts (focused on SM and theatre lit) and Sociology. I'm very interested in how these areas overlap/interact, and will be doing some research on stage managers this summer (info forthcoming; need to get through the human research approval system first).
