Infos

The "bible" in the field of stage management, Stage Management is a practical manual on how to stage manage in all theater environments. Full of practical aids: checklists, diagrams, examples, forms and step-by-step directions, this book has been used and admired by students and theater professionals alike. It eschews excessive discussion of philosophy and, instead, gets right to the essential materials and processes of putting on a production. In addition to sharing his own expertise, the author has gathered practical advice from working stage managers of Broadway, off-Broadway, touring companies, regional, community, and 99-seat Equity waiver theaters.
