ABSTRACT

Then there are the few SMs, the extremely fortunate ones and probably the elite of the SMing cadre, who get hired for one particular theatre, such as the Pasadena Playhouse in California, not only stage managing the productions that are produced for the theatre but working

with the shows that are brought in. These are the elite SMs because more than likely they are salaried and have the benefits offered by that producing company. This chapter is not for them. This chapter is dedicated to the SM seeking employment and the things the SM can do while unemployed.
