Book Excerpt

“This step-by-step, user friendly guide covers every aspect of stage management and can take any would-be stage manager at any level of theatre and turn them into an expert who will be the ultimate asset to your production.” – Tom Paster, Director of Musical Theatre, Northern Highlands Regional High School, New Jersey ************************************* “Mixing healthy doses of both the art and the science of stage managing, this book states up front that you can’t teach stage managing from a book, and then proceeds to do just that! It’s entertaining, informative and practical—a great resource for the “how-to” questions, and a terrific overview for anyone involved in the process of making theater.” – Les Gutman, Producing Director, Friendly Fire Theatre, NYC
