Synopsis
The highly successful 'Bible for any stage manager', now in a revised edition updated in 2024.
The stage manager is at the core of every successful theatre production: organising, managing and running rehearsals and performances; researching and procuring the props and furniture; and providing a creative information flow between the production and design departments.
This handbook is for students, graduates and all those who aspire to stage management, whether amateur or professional, on a large or small scale. Complete with charts and helpful checklists, it takes the reader through a typical production, week by week.
Other useful topics covered are:
- Team dynamics and job roles
- Theatre unions
- Health and Safety legislation
- The job market
- Production templates
- Management techniques and interpersonal skills
- Creativity in stage management
As well as updated information and resources throughout, this new edition includes two brand new sections: New Technology in Stage Management, and Sustainability in the Production Process. There are also case studies of professional stage managers and producers working in the field.
