Stage Management
A Life Backstage
The best stage managers will be more than book smart; they will be the undercover hero in any production.
Great stage managers drive projects through passion and hard work. They should be good planners and organisers, with a knack for multi-tasking, prioritising and keeping calm under pressure and in a crisis. Oh yes, and being fairly technically minded is a help!
A stage manager supports and organises all the different teams involved in the day-to-day running of a theatre production from rehearsals right through to performances and then post-show. They liaise and communicate with the full company and organise each team to ensure the smooth running of a production.
