The full realization of the work of directors, actors, and designers depends on a well-run back stage. From move-in to set-up, to running the show, to striking the set, back-stage workers handle a wide range of vital tasks. With this in mind, The Stage Directions Guide to Working Back Stage shows you how to create a truly collaborative and supportive effort. You'll find advice on:
  • proper installation and maintenance of rope, rigging, and curtains
  • safety guidelines for ladders, catwalks, and other high places
  • use, clean-up, and storage of paints and adhesives
  • set construction and repair tips
  • prop management
  • striking a set safely and efficiently
  • special needs of touring productions
  • back-stage responsibilities with special effects, guns, and other weapons
  • secrets of creating effective teams
  • and much more.
The Stage Directions Guide to Working Back Stage provides an overview of what goes on behind the scenes as well as specific guidance for each essential area of back-stage operation. It’s a combination that will benefit both newcomers and experienced hands.
