What does the stage crew do?
A stage manager is extremely important to a play. They are, simply put, in charge of everything. They are often a part of casting a show, and obtaining contact information of all actors. From the beginning of the rehearsal process, stage managers record all blocking (the movements of actors on stage), and as actors become off-book (with lines memorized) stage managers have the script in front of them to call out lines for absent actors or line corrections and prompts when errors are made. Stage managers also help to make sure all actors know about rehearsal and are reported to for absenses, and help keep rehearsals running on time. All lighting and sound requirements are noted by the stage manager, particularly the timing of each so the effect on the performance can be judged. Then, during the show, these cues are "called" by the stage manager to the lighting, sound, and effects operators to make sure they are executed on time. Throughout the rehearsal process, the stage manager maintains a "prompt script" with all technical cues and information as well as blocking and anything else important to the show. The stage manager also prepares a rehearsal report after each rehearsal to take note of any changes in the show, such as new props, set, or costumes added, new technical cues etc. Similarly, a production report is prepared after each show to ensure that the actors are holding to the director's vision and everything that had been rehearsed, and make note of anything that needs to be changed, fixed etc. before the next show. The stage manager is also responsible for communication with everyone involved in the show. There are many technical departments, such as lighting, sound, costumes, set construction, and props, and the stage manager oversees these, passes along the director's vision, and coordinates their activities. Depending on the size of the production, the stage manager may actually be responsible for one or more of these areas. Stage managers may also work with budget for the show and scheduling of performances. Often, there are assistant stage managers that assist the stage manager, look after overseeing some technical areas, and work backstage to make sure actors are coming on stage at the right times. Essentially, the stage manager is the organizational force behind the entire show and keeps everything together. A stage manager also tends to be a friend and trusted person for both the cast and crew, and often deals with human aspects and problems as well.
