I have wanted to be a stage manager since I was in 10th grade. I did a year long generalized apprenticeship at a professional company in my city for my first year out of high school before beginning post-secondary. In this apprenticeship, students work in all departments, including: props, marketing, play development and stage management. I wanted to be an SM going into the apprenticeship, and I had heard that most apprentices changed their minds during the season. Not me, if anything, I am more committed to being an SM for the rest of my life. I am now a second year university student and SMing a school tour.
