Having someone to serve as a stage manager is almost mandatory. The job of stage manager is hard. It is one of the most time consuming and important positions in drama, either in church or in the theatre. As stage manager, you will hear all the complaints, have to deal with all the problems, receive the blame for everything that goes wrong, and typically receive little of the glory. The stage manager is frequently forgotten, until something goes wrong, then everybody is looking for you. Yet, with all of this, the position of the stage manager is one of the most important and rewarding in the theatre.
As stage manager you will have generally begun work long before rehearsals ever begin, and more than likely will be the last person out of the theatre on closing night. In between those times, you are the lifeline, the communications hub for the entire production team and the performance ensemble. Organization is your key to success and the success of the production. This is a guideline for assisting you in your job of stage manager. These are only guides and are not intended to be “rules” for stage-managing. If you have a way of working that is more practical for you, by all means use it. Remember, keep track and make lists, if you don’t write it down, it didn’t happen, and worse yet, more than likely won’t happen.
