Stage Management

The Last Days of Judas Iscariot

Stage managers work on every phase of a production process, from prep to closing night. They facilitate communication among directors, choreographers, writers, designers, actors, office staff and other collaborators. Stage managers run rehearsals and attend meetings. Once installed in the theatre, the stage manager coordinates all production elements and calls the cues of the show for technical rehearsals, previews and performances. After the official opening, the stage manager becomes responsible for maintaining the production’s artistic integrity. The Sargent Conservatory trains the next generation of leaders in the theatre and live events sector by blending classroom training with practical work. Students receive

instruction and one-on-one mentorship from industry professionals with a vast range of experience, including Broadway, off- Broadway, regional, dance, corporate events, and opera. Stage management students also have the opportunity to intern and assist on productions with professional companies in St. Louis and across the country. Through study abroad programs, stage management students can build a rich global experience. A typical stage management major can expect a well-rounded engagement with the theatre process that involves both classwork and production work.
