Hello! I forgot to blog last week. Apologies. Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving!
The chapter for this week is on correspondence. A stage manager does not write much correspondence, but it is nice for them to write things like a letter of advice for the next stage manager. I was lucky enough to have a previous stage manager around if I had any particular questions, but in a professional environment, this is not always the case, so a letter helps. It is also beneficial for stage managers to write themselves critiques, so they can always improve on their work, as well as letters of recommendation for those they worked with who did a great job. As a stage manager for one college show...I will probably be writing none of these things. But I do plan on being around next semester to impart any stage manager wisdom necessary to those who follow me. Like whoever I get to stage manager my senior show...
Speaking of my senior show...that's a thing that is happening! I had auditions and I cast my show and we had our first read-through and I know pretty much what my set's going to look like and these things are all EXCITING which is why this is a RUN-ON SENTENCE. I look forward to more adventures and good times on this show if I do not lose my sanity the same way I lost my scripts...
See you next week. I hope.
