  • Production Manual to Determine and Understand the Adjacent and Overlapping Duties of Your Associates
    Southeast Missouri State University Department of Theatre & Dance Performance & Production Guidelines Explanation This manual is designed to be a reference for all members of a Production Team to explain and clarify the necessary production work expectations, duties and responsibilities of the various crews and crew head positions at Southeast Missouri State University. This manual's intent is to promote positive and constructive communication, while providing easily accessible information on how productions are mounted at Southeast Missouri State University. This manual does not preclude discussions with the faculty, staff, and student personnel responsible for the various production areas. Preface Theatrical productions are an example of live collaborative craft. A collaborative craft means simply that no one group or member of the production team is any more or less important, or carries the entire burden of the production. Each member of the production team has specific responsibilities and duties. Those duties, when executed with proper respect and communication, can lead to the ultimate theatrical goal of creating the best possible example of the theatrical craft. Southeast Missouri State University is an academic institution; therefore many aspects of production will be linked to course work for members of the Production Team. All members of the Production Team need to be aware that sharpening of the theatrical craft is the fundamental goal of academic production work. Mistakes, blunders, experimentation, and even failure, in terms of communication, budgets, schedules, experiments, etc., are all part of the educational system. Patience and respect for other individuals’ need to explore and learn for themselves is required of all members of the production team.

  • Stage Management Handbook (PDF)
    Stage Management Handbook West Virginia University College of Creative Arts School of Theatre & Dance Revisions: If you would like to propose a revision to this handbook, please email the production manager. Outline the change you purpose and the reason for this proposal. Created By: Faculty & Staff of the School of Theatre & Dance 08/2012 Introduction Serving as a stage manager is an invaluable experience for a student at the School of Theatre & Dance. Not only are you part of a team to help develop a production, in the end you are the individual responsible for the production’s follow through. A good stage manager will practice the following traits: be proactive, assume responsibility, think ahead, be organized, and dependable. With each production your confidence and skills will grow, assisting you in your professional career after college. The stage manager is the first line of communication and serves as the hub that holds the different disciplines together. You must learn to communicate in a clear and timely manner and be able to express the ideas and vision of others. It is equally as important to treat everyone with respect, as you will need to form a professional working relationship with everyone involved in the production. It is crucial to develop a balance in life between your work, study, and play. Time management is one of the most important things a stage manager can learn. To achieve this will help you manage your day‐to‐day stress. Learn to leave your personal problems outside of the theatre, yet deal with the stresses of daily life quickly so it will not impact your work or study.

    Vern Riffe Center for the Arts Technical Information Packet for Users The VRCFA is a smoke free building. The VRCFA is wheelchair accessible to all areas (Except the fly rail & grid). Seating capacity The Center has four seating configurations. Seating is divided into a lower section, upper section and a seat wagon can be set on the orchestra lift. With advance notice, the house can be set up to accommodate the following audience capacities: 458 using only the lower section. 522 using the lower section and the seat wagon. 1067 using the lower and upper sections. 1131 if the lower, upper and seat wagon are used. NOTE: An acoustically transparent scrim can be dropped between the lower and upper sections of the house when only the lower section is used. Also, seats can be removed from the last rows of the lower and upper sections to allow for wheelchairs. If you expect a large number of patrons that would be in wheelchairs please let the center know. Stage configuration The stage at the Vern Riffe Center can be set up in two configurations. The Center is both a Concert Hall and a Proscenium Theater. Special note to users: The orchestra shell walls are drywall. DO NOT lean anything against the shell walls during your load-in, stay, and load-out at the theater. CONCERT HALL An orchestra shell with side walls and ceiling can be placed.

  • Shrek Tech Crew Contract
    Shrek Tech Crew Contract Crew Norms for each rehearsal: You are expected to be on time for every rehearsal you are called for. This means you need to be backstage, ready to go by starting time. If you must be late for some reason, please let the directors or Stage Managers know ahead of time. Cell phones are a major distraction, and therefore are not allowed on stage at any time. Parent Meeting: th We will be having a mandatory parent meeting on Tuesday December 10 ​ at 7:00 pm. ​ The meeting will be in the auditorium. We will also be collecting show dues. The show dues are $65, non-refundable, and cover the following items: ● All snacks and meals for tech week ● Company party ● Show t-shirt (additional spirit wear available) ● Production Gift Contribution *Money should never hinder a student from participating in this cast. Please have your st parent email Mrs. Lenze or Mr. Weber by December 10 ,​ so we can make alternative ​ arrangements. Missing School/Rehearsals: As we get closer to production, you will undoubtedly be tired. (We will be too!) However, it is unacceptable to use the show as an excuse to miss school or sleep in. It is irresponsible to have your parents call you in sick, just because you are tired from a long day of school and rehearsal. As a directing team, we maintain a good relationship with the WLC teachers. If you use the show as a crutch/excuse to miss their class, they will eventually become frustrated with us. If you are called, but are not rehearsing for a chunk of time, we STRONGLY encourage you to find a place in the auditorium and do your homework.
