Technical Theatre Publications

Does anyone know of any helpful magazines for stage managers or anyone involved in technical theatre?  or even just an interesting and informative theatrical magazine?

Thanks

I don't know of any geared specifically towards stage managing. However, American Theater tends to be a decent general theatre magazine.  (Or so I have been told... I have never subscribed to this one).   "Stage Directions" is another general theatre magazine, however, I personally do not care for it. 

I am also a lighting person, so I personally like both "PLSN" and "Light & Sound America"

In the UK, there's 'Sightline' which is the quarterly magazine of the Association of British Theatre Technicians. I think you have to be a member of the ABTT to subscribe, though, and I don't know if they have overseas members. (They do have associate membership, but I think that's mostly for people interested in the business rather than employed in it, and/or amateurs). More info here http://www.abtt.org.uk/

I believe all of the above are free.
