Assistant Stage Manager

[xt1me]

I’m working back stage for a production of 'Taming of the Shrew’ done by ‘the Loft’. Well that is to say I’m not one of the actors. I don’t really know what I’m actually doing. So I’ve claimed the title assistant stage manager until or unless I think of something better/more appropriate.

Seriously, I sat in on a bunch of rehearsals and done nothing. Sure I’ve written down stage directions, noted where sound effects might go and made a few props but really I haven’t done much. I know I’ll help out making the set and I probably have more to do during the actual run of the show but I wish people would tell me what they need rather then making me guess all the time. I suppose part of that is that they don’t known what they want or the fact they tell someone else but not me. *Sigh*. Oh well, I'm fairly confident that nothings going to go wrong on my end, we’ll see.

 

I guess I’m just spoilt from student films. We may have had far too little time to prepare for a lot of them but they moved along so fast we had to be mega-organised.
