About

o Build a clearer understanding of stage management and show calling, from production terminology and team roles to load-in, rehearsal and live delivery. Learn what technical teams need, why timelines matter and how planning decisions affect quality and budget. Put your learning into practice by taking on a production role and turning a client-style run of show into a functional cue sheet. Leave ready to work more confidently and collaboratively with your technical partners.
