Hey all you SMs out there.
I have a question that I need help answering.
I'm currently preparing to start rehearsals for a show where the set is a 40'wide by 16'deep staircase. 12 steps with a platform on the top. Our rehearsal space isn't consistent and we will have time rehearsing on the set, but how do I tape this out? Our rehearsal rooms are no where near as large as the stage, however how can I provide the best guidance for blocking purposes.
ANy advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Students and Novice Stage Managers / Internships in London
« on: Dec 18, 2008, 07:39 pm »
Hey Everyone!
I'm currently looking for internships in London for stage management and I'm having a hard time finding them on the internet. New York internships I can find in a second but London seems to be harder. I'm just wondering if anyone works in London and knows of some or even somewhere I can inquire about internships. That would be very helpful! Thanks!

Stage Management: Plays & Musicals / SHOWS: A Chorus Line
« on: Dec 22, 2006, 11:04 am »
For The record, teching a Chorus Line was the easiest show I've ever worked on. The only sets that moved were the mirrors that in like 4 parts in the show turn around and become black.. and at the end of the show.. the tape gets taken off the stage and THAT'S IT.

Tools of the Trade / Condom reference??
« on: Mar 13, 2006, 08:58 pm »
I know there was a post earlier about condoms being used over mic packs. What was the reason again? I went to go see a show downtown Toronto the other night and my friend was in the show and I went backstage after and she told me (laughing of course) that they used condoms to cover the mic packs. What exactly does it do? I guess easier from slipping off or w/e but what are some other reasons? Thanks!!
