October 10 is International Stage Management Day but we should appreciate these overworked and often hardly noticed crew that help enable our productions to even happen!
(Also we could use more stage managers for more of our shows. Just saying. 🤣 )

For context, depending on the scale of the show and whether I’m calling all departments or just driving a single one, I’ll use between four and ten colours.
There’s usually about
20 scenes
40 songs / playoffs
500 cues
300 standbys
10 notes to self
6 don’t fuck this up
4 keys / colour codes
Photos below for context - this is a partially marked up book from when we did Shrek in 2019, which I called but also remembered to photograph 😂 (for once)
Downsides of #StageManagement in #Aotearoa
- the price of stationery in this country
- the stationery we can’t get here that the UK/USA lot talk excitedly about
- the shortage of stage managers
Upsides of being a Stage Manager in Aotearoa
- stationery shopping
- coffee
- the shortage of stage managers
In kinda fun things though - I’ve just printed my layouts onto my book, rather than hand ruling 275 pages
The next step is inserting tiny set plans times a billion, but there’s an updated version coming tomorrow so I’m not doing it today!!
Still tossing up whether I print them or stick em on top, I’m leaning towards the later and just adding layers as major revisions happen

Version one was more like version one A, mostly coz I spilled coffee on a partially completed one and started again with some tweaks.
Version two includes some more references within the stage house, to give more context to the largest set pieces. And many more notes for clarity (so many omg)
New #introduction post, seeing as how everyone’s coming here from the bird site.
Hi! I’m Hannah. I’m mostly a #writer and #editor these days, but I’ve got a background in #communications, project and events management, #StageManagement and #theatre practice, all of which I still dabble in for fun and/or work.
Trying out new projects and making things, with varying success.
Love to chat to real people about things they are interested in and find out more about the world, please do say hi!
Random #eurovision throwback - back/onstage edition!
I had an internship in a #theatre #property room a hundred years ago, and this is bringing back memories!
