I think that the origional post had to do with an internship or some early career move. You know, I do think that is legit for someone coming only out of education experience to ask to present a calling script, sample paperwork from a show.
But you know, as I have looked over paperwork it's not so much the style of paperwork I begin to look at it - I love to look at someones rehearsal or performance reports and see how they look at the show. (I grimace when someone has a complete rehearsal report with nothing to report - NOTHING - IN 4 - 8 hours NOTHING happened to put on a report.) In the end the pretty form, the clean calling script, etc, etc, only shows how much you prepare. (Like asking an actor to bring in a monologue they have been rehearsing for four years.) But it will always be in the interview where the make or break happens. I think the 85% of stage management can not be shown on paper. (Or 95% or maybe 99.9%)
Experience is what is key to this job (why all things being equal, I will take the more experience stage manager.)
