The Stage Manager’s Toolkit, Fourth Edition, provides a comprehensive account of the role of the stage manager for live theatre with a focus on both written and verbal communication best practices. The book outlines the duties of the stage manager and assistant stage manager throughout a production, discussing not only what to do but why. It also identifies communication objectives for each phase of production, paperwork to be created, and the necessary questions to be answered to ensure success. This fourth edition includes: a new chapter devoted to documenting movement which includes both intimacy choreography and stage combat; updated and expanded information on using technology and social media; expanded information on the digital prompt book and other digital and web-based tools; updated paperwork examples; more information on Equity practices for the student and early career stage managers. Written for the stage management student and early career stage manager, this book is a perfect addition to any university Stage Management course. A companion website hosts customizable paperwork templates, instructional videos, links to additional information, teacher tools for individual chapters, and a bonus section on teaching stage management.
