Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the beginning stage manager specifically. However, because of the growing responsibilities of stage managers in the contemporary theatre, much of the information is valuable even to experienced stage managers. The text provides guidelines for: (1.) Beginning stage managers; (2.) Experienced stage managers who want to augment their knowledge and evaluate alternative approaches to notating blocking of stage movement and unarmed stage combat; (3.) Directors who want to encourage maximum input from this central member of their production staff in order to be freed of administrative concerns, who want the benefits of a nurtured and protected collaboration with the other visual and performing artists, and who want to be assured of a maintenance of the interpretation and evolved concepts; and (4.) Teachers who want to prepare drama students to creatively and efficiently carry out their roles as stage managers rather than perpetuating the frustrating and unproductive method of trial-and-error.
