Description: |
The stage manager is the critical organizational and management hub in the artistic process of theatrical production. Stage Managers are skilled project managers, and the skills learned in stage management are applicable to almost any management situation. Stage Management (fall/spring) students will get an in-depth introduction to and immersion in stage managing a theatrical production, as well as understanding the broader context of stage management within cultural, historical, theatrical and aesthetic histories/contexts. The course covers all areas of management skills, safety procedures, technical knowledge, and paperwork. Students will be expected to put in significant time in the lab portion of the course: serving as an assistant stage manager or production stage manager on one (or both) Theater Program productions in their registered semester. |
