Stage Management: Plays & Musicals / VENUES: Dinner Theater

« on: Jul 25, 2019, 01:21 pm »

Any other dinner theater stage managers here? I've been the resident stage manager at a dinner theater in upstate NY for about 3 years now and while I've appreciated the steady paycheck, I definitely miss a more traditional theater environment. My booth is more of a tech table in the back of the house with a table on either side that patrons can sit at. I constantly get asked questions that don't pertain at all to stage managing because I'm out in the house, at my booth, and easily approachable.

Anyone else at a dinner theater experience similar things?

Introductions / New SM from upstate NY

« on: Oct 21, 2017, 07:27 pm »

Hi everyone!

I'm Katherine and I am currently the Resident SM at a dinner theater in upstate New York. I've been stage managing since my junior year of college, about 4 years ago.

I discovered this site a few weeks ago and just now was able to take a look around. Looks like a lot of information that is super helpful now but would have been so helpful during college as well! Looking forward to picking up some new ideas and tips.
