Getting ready
Welcome to our blog. I am Devorah Spadone, the production stage manager at Book-it and am currently working thru the last 2 days of rehearsal before we move into the theater for tech week.
Tech week is when the stage manager's job begins to shine. We essentially become the director. Tech week is when we add in the costumes, the lights, the props, the set, and the sound ALL IN ONE! It's a lot of commotion and a lot of fun. Tech week is what I look forward to the most. It's when all of our hard work from rehearsal, our countless hours spent in production meetings with the designers all comes together to create a show. It's where theater magic is created.
It's always amazing to me that we are able to put all these elements together so quickly. It's wonderful. It takes a LOT of hard working people to make it all happen, but some how we do it!
I always wish that more people were aware of all the hard work that goes into making a show. When I try to explain what a stage manager does to people, my words jubble together and my explanation turns into a spoken novel. There are so many details that can't even be explained, that it's just easier to see it, than it is to have it explained to you.
I hope you all enjoy Book-It's production of Peter Pan, and give a quick thought to all the many factors that made it come to life!
