Developing Your Stage Management Skills

Learn the art of Stage Management from one of Auckland’s most experienced stage and production managers, Teresa Sokolich.

Developing your Stage Management Skills is designed for those new to stage management – perhaps you’ve always wanted to have a go, or you’ve stage managed a couple of shows and want to learn how a professional approaches this crucial role.

Teresa invites you to join her behind the scenes of Tadpole Theatre’s May season to see how she runs her productions – from prop tables to spike marks, script notation to cues, she’ll use her very real production documents and live stage to explain how she gets things done.
