Description
Revered as the authoritative resource for stage management, this book offers readers a practical manual on how to stage manage in all theater environments.
Rich with practical resources - checklists, diagrams, examples, forms and step-by-step directions - Stage Management eschews excessive discussion of philosophy and gets right to the essential materials and processes of putting on a production. In addition to sharing his own expertise, Stern has gathered practical advice from working stage managers of Broadway, off-Broadway, touring companies, regional, community, and 99-seat Equity waiver theaters.
