#stage manager

[ciaradowling]

a theater production where todd is a stage manager and cameron is the assistant stage manager. todd is giving notes and cameron constantly corrects minor grammatical mistakes he happens to make. cameron shushes people backstage louder than they were talking. (this is canon to me.)

look at him he's just ready for judgement

I spoke with another SM who I'll be working with next month, and I told her we had both worked with my favorite director. She responded with how many years she had known him and said, "I love working with him, he's good. And he's GOOD." The way she emphasized the second 'good,' from one woman to another, in theatre, I knew exactly what she meant.

I've never seen this director lose his temper or even raise his voice. No sign of an ego either. He ran productions with a quiet authority that I had never seen before or since. I'd work with him again for free, and I mean it. All because my nervous system gets a break whenever he's in charge.

I graduated from college two weeks ago now with my degree in Theatre, with a concentration in Tech and Musical Theatre.

And one thing about my degree journey, is that my parents have never been really all that supportive of my theatre career and pursuit. They saw no money in it, and as long as I was studying theatre. I was on my own. Getting to come to anything that I was doing was a challenge. Family gatherings or events, we didn’t talk about what I was studying or about my career at all.

But, my parents came to my final theatre performance at my university. A show I was stage managing, not even on stage. And, after my graduation, my parents sat me down and said “We don’t really know what it was, but something after the show made us start thinking. So, talk to us about theatre. Why do you want to do it, what’s your plan, etc”

They also said “there’s a light that we saw in you at the theater, that we haven’t seen in a long time.” And they recognized that theatre is an industry that they know absolutely nothing about. And so, they’ve decided to be fully supportive of my career going forward. I don’t know what that’s going to look like necessarily? But, it felt really good to hear them say that and to hear them say that they’re proud.

So, that’s something that I have to celebrate right now ✨🥺

Mw and my best friend decided on Wednesday that we were going to a comic con tomorrow. I had a couple of days to make my first ever cosplay.

BEHOLD

Trevor the stage manager from the Goes Wrong Show.

Will anyone get this? No.

Is this utterly self indulgent? Absolutely.

I'm going to have a blast.

Stage managing too hard that I’m starting to have nightmares of the cast breaking set pieces on accident mid show.

My tech director named me stage manager like 10 minutes before the first rehearsal. He was then mad at me for not knowing the play.
