Stage Managers
Stage Managers are the communication link between EVERYONE in the show- directors, designers, actors, crew, and anyone else! During the show, the head stage manager calls cues for the rest of crew, and the assistant stage managers run everything backstage. Stage managers:
facilitate auditions
sort student contracts
call cues
write blocking
write cues in book
collect money from actors for lost items
create rental scripts
run tech meetings
take tech attendance
check in with designers
call places
make check lists for things to complete for tech
before and after shows make sure clean up happens
make sure risers are moved into the correct places when they need to be moved
Assistant Stage Managers help with all of that AND:
make sure curtains are running well
clean tech areas
make sure no one has too many jobs during a show
make sure everyone knows their cues
make sure no one is in the way (including tech)
watch props
watch costume
make sure spikes are right
make sure stage left doors are closed
make sure actors are not in the line of sight
Tech Crew Design Jobs (things you do BEFORE the show)
Each of these designers are responsible for going through their script to find their cues.
- Lighting designers use blocking notes and set design to build light cues and program them into the lightboard. - Sound designers primarily use online research skills to find sound cues and build them into a computer program called QLab. - Set Designers use math, drawing, and construction skills to design the set, and to determine the need to purchase or reuse appropriate lumber,
PROPS DESIGNS AND CREATION WILL BE DONE DURING TECHNICAL THEATRE CLASS THIS YEAR - Props Designers use research, crafting, and treasure hunting skills to obtain appropriate props.
THERE IS NO AFTER SCHOOL COSTUME CREW THIS YEAR. Select students from the Costume Design class will run costume crew during tech rehearsals and performances. - Costume Designers use research skills, sewing skills, and the script to create, find, and occasionally purchase appropriate costumes.
Student Producers
Student Producers coordinate everything involved in the show that ISN'T acting or tech. Student producers:
sort money
make list of order of scenes and post it EVERYWHERE
