Heading back to school...sort of
« on: Sep 24, 2011, 10:04 am »
Just had the first read for my next show- Three Sisters at The Atlantic Theater. I'll be working with 3rd-year NYU acting students in the production, plus four (four!) 1st-year ASMs. In addition to evening rehearsals, I'll be sitting in on one production class a week with them, plus training the ASMs. I'm a little amused, as I went to a small liberal arts college that didn't even offer a stage management class (everything I know I learned from other SMs and books) and now I'm being paid to attend a class in a theater conservatory!

I personally would like to bring a tortoise onto the stage, turn it into a racehorse, then into a hat, a song, a dragon and a fountain of water. One can dare anything in the theatre and it is the place where one dares the least. -Ionesco

Congrats, Liz! I'm curious to hear how conservatory classes compare to the do-it-yourself brand of SMing that comes from a smaller department. Have fun!
