Stage Management

The Stage Manager co-ordinates the work of the other technical sections during the running of a play, giving cues over the headset system to lighting, sound and flying sections and liaises with other departments (props., costume/wardrobe, set design, music) to make sure the play runs smoothly. All the work for each play/show is written down on cards or wall-charts and in the Stage Manager’s script.

The stage crew are responsible, under the direction of the Assistant Stage Manager, for moving furniture and scenery and fliers fly cloths and pieces of scenery in, following the instructions of the Stage Manager.
