| Students interested in stage
management or arts administration combine study in theatre with courses in business,
organizational communication, management, marketing and public relations. Stage managers
begin by working as assistant stage managers during their freshman year and assume full
management responsibilities in the sophomore year. Arts administration students acquire
practical experience in box office management and public relations by working as
assistants to the Audience Services Director. Stage Managers in the Department of Theatre and Dance may approach their
professional training through one of two possible degree paths:
- The
B.F.A. degree in Design/Technology, which stresses
the technical elements in management.
- The
B.A. degree in Theatre, which allows the student
more freedom to customize training in design,
technology, and performance areas as well as
external courses in business, psychology, and
personnel management.
Stage
Managers in the department are given many opportunities,
first as assistant stage managers, then as stage
managers for a variety of productions including
mainstage, musical productions, and a variety
of workshop productions. In addition, there is
a weekly seminar class for stage managers which
functions as a teaching tool and as a support
group for ongoing productions to help solve problems
and deal with real-world issues in the area of
stage management.
