Above and Beyond the Call of Stage Management!
The Assistant Stage Managers are there to make your life easier. Typically ASM duties include anything you ask of them be it paperwork, photocopying, sweeping, or running a portion of the rehearsal. Utilize them; you will go crazy without them. You will probably want to attempt to accomplish everything on your own, you will have fleeting thoughts of having everything under control; you do not though. Realize that you are only human and that ASMs are your saving grace. Also, you are potentially training next season’s Stage Manager. Let them be a positive reflection of your dedication and hard work.
