The Stage Manager's Toolkit

Notes

INTRODUCTION

1.  The summary definition offered for a stage manager according to Actors’ Equity Association is compiled from job description items found in the 2009–2012 League of Resident Theatres (LORT) Rulebook, the 2009–2012 Production Rulebook, and the 2008–2010 Council of Resident Stock Theatres (CORST) Rulebook. Due to the fact that AEA oversees 62 individual types of agreements relating to every possible category of professional live theatre, there is no single, all-inclusive definition. I have taken key elements from the working descriptions in these three agreements to create this summary.
