Enhancing Stage Management Skills: Script Development and Performance Preparation

This guide focuses on developing stage management skills essential for students in theater productions. It emphasizes creating a comprehensive Stage Manager's Script (SMS), which includes vital elements such as blocking, props, costumes, and cues. Students will learn to organize their scripts effectively on 8.5" x 11" paper, incorporating a table of contents and floor plans. Additionally, the responsibilities of directors, designers, and actors are outlined to foster collaboration and ensure smooth rehearsals and performances. This project aims to prepare students for their roles in the production process.

  1. February 21, 2013 Warm Up: How is your project going? Do you know your jobs? Objective: Students will begin to develop their SM Scripts, and continue to rehearse and develop their performances.

  2. Stage Manager’s Script • The most important script in a production • Contains all blocking, props, costumes, cues, changes and all other information required to perform a play. • The stage managers script is what is published by play publishing companies.

  3. How its set up • On a piece of white 8.5”x11” paper, glue a one sided copy of your script to the middle. • In the new, wide margins, place all of the important information. • On the backsides of pages, you will draw a floor plan that contains blocking and set pieces/changes • A stranger should be able to follow your script to run the show.

  4. What else goes into it • All of your work from your other jobs will be placed in the SMS • A table of contents to show where all of your stuff is. • In a folder, notebook, or some other forms of binding.

  5. Director Jobs • You need to be on top of things! You do not get to set around and lord over your peers! • You will help the actors with the characters, acting, and stage movement • You will help the designers make choices, and assist with placing objects during rehearsal periods.
