While this article goes over some very basic points of stage management it would be a good source to educate someone outside of the show about stage management. It demonstrates how essential the stage manager is to create a positive rehearsal environment, organization, and note-taking. Stage managers are essential to make the most out of rehearsal by keeping everyone on track, focused, and engaged. I particularly liked the quote the article opened with from Thomas A. Kelly’s that stage managers “create an atmosphere in which everything is possible" because it demonstrates the overarching impact that a stage manager has on the creation of the show as well as the possibility in theater to do essentially anything and everything.
