RESPONSIBILITIES
|
Deputy Stage Manager
|
I feel every manager need an assistant that helps
them assist with the planning, coordination, development, administration.
Experience is very helpful in securing a job, but not always necessary
depending on personal skills and credentials.
-
By taking messages, phone calls etc. and assisting in general, including
taking over the DSM’s duties when required. Duties include: helping director
and artists with errands etc. when they cannot spare their own time, checking
props, furniture etc, operating sound and other technical equipment etc.
-
We then have three dress rehearsals which are
coordinated by the stage manager and DSM. The aim is to create a performance
that runs smoothly with all aspects of the production coordinated to happen
at exactly the correct moment in the script or at a particular moment
determined by an actor’s action
-
as a deputy stage manager I have been responsible
for cueing graves to be opened, gunshots, glitter to fall, the set to
revolve, telephones to ring, dead bodies to be flown out of vans, large
walnuts containing goblins to be pushed onto stage and apples to fall from
trees. What a wonderful hobby.
-
The type of hurdles you may have to face is making
sure you take leadership

Assistant Stage Manager
|
-
Assistant
managers have various of duties like: setting schedules to developing solutions for problems
that arise during operations. They often help with hiring and training, and
should be able to handle the day-to-day tasks of the manager if they are
absent.
Extensive knowledge of the specific company and industry where these assistants work are essential
- It is usual for at least one ASM
on the team to also learn the Book, with a view to running the show in the
absence of the DSM. While learning the cues which necessitates shadowing the
DSM throughout the show (as well as extra tuition during the day) the CSM
(company stage manager) will cover their cues, although it may be possible to
share the extra duties around the remaining staff.
-
This is in no way an
exclusive list of stage management duties. The basic duty of the stage
management is to prevent anything bad from affecting the production and to
facilitate the best possible conditions for the production to reach its full
potential. Having distributed the duties within the team, the members should
make themselves familiar with one another’s duties in order to cover each
other if need be.
-
The type of equipment
that would be used is something called a show report which means the assistant
manager writes what happens throughout the day and takes notes.
-
They take care of
props and making sure the props are ready for each scene and the prop table
is prepped.
-
They helped prepare
Each scene change and take notes accordingly so at any time the director can
turn and ask about light or if a person should be wearing anything specific
and the assistant should be able to know.
