The Stage Manager works in tandem with the Director in rehearsal, recording the blocking and seeing that cast members stay on script, have necessary props, and follow the staging. As the blocking and set change cues are developed, the stage manager meticulously records the timing of each as it relates to the script and other aspects of the performance. All notes are maintained in a prompt book which contains all cues, technical notes, blocking and other information pertinent to the show. During the show the Stage Manager is responsible for communication between the director, actors and back stage crew. This job is perfect for a super organized, responsible student who can multitask in a fast paced environment, and keep track of lots of details.
