What Does a Stage Manager Do?
A Stage Manager coordinates all elements of a live or studio production, serving as the communication hub between the director, crew, and talent. They call cues for cameras, audio, lighting, and graphics during live shows, manage the show rundown and timing, coordinate talent entrances and transitions, and ensure rehearsals and productions run on schedule. Stage Managers keep everyone synchronized under high-pressure live conditions.
