A stage manager is responsible for making sure that live performances, such as plays and musicals, run smoothly from start to finish. This career involves coordinating all aspects of a production, including rehearsals, actors, technical crew, and equipment. Stage managers create detailed schedules, manage props and set changes, and act as the main point of communication between the director, cast, and backstage crew. The role requires excellent organisational skills, calmness under pressure, and strong leadership abilities. Stage managers often work long hours, especially in the lead-up to and during performances, but it is a highly rewarding job for those passionate about the performing arts.
