This past weekend, I wrapped up stage managing a local theatre production. While people think that community theatre is "just for fun," here's three ways I use stage managing skills in my work as a career consultant: -Stage managers are event planners. A theatre production is a full-scale event which requires the ability to keep organized all the elements to make a cohesive event. I plan events (large and small scale) where understanding the big picture and the impact on the audience is essential. -Stage managers are problem solvers. Even a step further, they have to predict what will go wrong before it can ever go wrong and prep ahead to avoid issues. While this can seem like a negative view, it actually helps to know alternatives when developing workshops or when to pivot. -Stage managers are detail-oriented. They need to know the who/what/when/where/why for every scene, every cue, every prop, etc. and then lay it all out so everyone is on the same page. This is why I can ask such specific questions in career consulting and get to the heart of my students' needs. Today, I want to give love to other community theatre stage managers, as well as those on cast and crew for the dedication and skills that they bring to other facets of their work and life. #stagemanagers #yinzercareercoach #wednesdaywisdom #theatre

Behind the curtain lies the heart of a theater or stage performance venue - the backstage area. This is where the unseen magic of the performance comes together through preparation and coordination. 🔍 Dressing Rooms: Areas where actors prepare, dress in costumes, and await their entrances onto the stage. 📦 Storage Areas: Spaces where stage props, costumes, and other equipment are stored and maintained. 💄 Makeup Rooms:  Places where actors apply makeup suitable for their characters and get ready in their costumes. 💤 Rest and Preparation Areas:  Spaces where actors can rest during performance breaks and prepare before going on stage. 📋 Management Spaces:  Areas where the production team holds meetings, manages stage operations, and plans the organization. These backstage areas highlight the exciting aspects of stage arts while emphasizing the importance of teamwork and success. The effort and coordination behind stage arts are truly captivating! ✨🎭 #BehindTheScenes #Theater #StageArts

Systems for Increasing the Speed of Set Changes in Theatres Modular Set Systems Modular set systems allow for stage pieces to be easily assembled and disassembled, enabling quick adjustments to different stage configurations. Moving Stage Platforms Mechanized or motorized platforms facilitate the rapid movement of set pieces on and off the stage, making transitions more efficient. Hydraulic and Electric Systems Hydraulic and electric systems enable the smooth and silent movement of large and heavy set pieces, simplifying the process of changing sets. Revolving Stage A revolving stage rotates around an axis, allowing one set to be quickly replaced by another, speeding up scene changes. Fly Systems Fly systems use ropes and pulleys to raise and lower set elements from above, enabling swift changes of scenery. Automation and Computer-Controlled Systems Automation and computer-controlled systems program and synchronize stage movements, enhancing the speed and precision of set changes while reducing human error. These systems and techniques increase the efficiency of theatre productions and reduce the time required for scene changes, providing the audience with a smoother and more seamless performance. #TheatreMagic #StageDesign #SetChange #TheatreTech #PerformanceArt #BehindTheScenes #TheatreLife #InnovationInTheatre #LivePerformance #TheatreLovers
