How does the stage manager work with the front of house crew?
The Stage Manager oversees the performers and stagehands...everything that happens on the backside of the curtain. The House Manager oversees everything that occurs on the other side of the curtain, including the audience, the facility, the HVAC, fire laws, concessions. In as such, the two positions don't interact too much. They coordinate start times for the curtain to rise, with either being able to hold the start of the show (stage manager might hold a curtain if an actor is not ready, or if there is some technical error going on, whereas the house manager might hold the curtain if a large group has not yet arrived, or a medical situation is going on that requires attention...anything that might otherwise interrupt the show once it's started). Between the two ,the House Manager position is a much better job to have...soooo much less work!

What does the quote 'spread thy close curtain love performing night that runaways eyes may wink' mean in the play Romeo and Juliet?
The whole quotation, which is from Juliet's soliloquy in Act III Scene 2 which begins with the words "Gallop apace, you fiery-footed steeds", is as follows: Spread thy close curtain, love-performing night, That runaway's eyes may wink and Romeo Leap to these arms, untalk'd of and unseen. Bear in mind that Juliet was able to sneak out of her father's house early that afternoon and get married to Romeo but had to return home and wait for Romeo to sneak into her bedroom and have sex with her. This speech is about that waiting, and her anticipation of the night and the pleasure it is going to bring her. Look at the first line. What does a curtain do? It covers things up. When the edges of a curtain are pulled close together it is a "close curtain" and is even better at covering things up. Who has this curtain? "Love-performing night" Why "love-performing"? Because people make love to each other at night. Why does night have a curtain? Because it is dark, and hard to see, like when your eyes are closed (winking meant both eyes closed then). So in the line "Spread thy close curtain, love-performing night, that runaway's eyes may wink" Juliet is asking the night (apostrophe is the word for talking to things that cannot talk back) to come and make things dark so people can't see. Why does she want nobody to see? So Romeo can leap into her arms, that is have sex with her, "untalked of and unseen". Their marriage is a secret and so must their wedding night be. The whole speech is a masterpiece of erotic anticipation.
