Advanced Stage Management

3 units

This course is for students with a solid understanding of the basic concepts, tools, and procedures of stage management. Going beyond the university setting, the focus of the first course, we will study stage management in professional American regional theatres across the country. We emphasize the interplay of artist union regulations and how those affect the responsibilities and daily duties of the stage manager. Students also will gain knowledge in dance, opera, and corporate event management. Finally, we will review the most current stage management technology and learn how it is being implemented in the profession.
