The minor in stage management puts students at the intersection of the artistic, the technical, and the managerial. Skills and understanding in all three areas make stage managers essential to every kind of performance, live and recorded, whether music, theater, dance, performance art, or opera. As the liaison between artists, directors, designers, technicians, and producers, stage managers are a critical link in the successful operation of any production.
The minor in stage management will address the principles of stage management, running and calling a show, lighting techniques, production management, and ways of approaching negotiation. Students will learn from professionals in all areas of performance. The minor also includes an internship through which students will be able to capitalize on their contacts and make further contacts to strengthen their careers. Contacts and internships should help lead to a full range of professional options upon graduation.
