Now it's time to call opening night! Using an excerpt from The Play That Goes Wrong, let's discuss a stage manager's calling station, what happens before the show begins, and how to think through tricky cues.

The best advice I've ever been given, "Go to the bathroom before you call places!" LOL! ;)

@claudialynch12 3 года назад

The best advice for calling is: Remember to Breathe with the show. You are a part of the performance. AND - You call the show with your eyes on the stage. You look at the stage and occasionally glance at your book. (NOT the opposite!)

The Play where everything goes wrong stresses me out but looks like a ton of fun to call.

@padawan-fd2jx 3 года назад

100% agreed. It’s also basically the only guaranteed way to make me laugh. I’ve watched the 10 minute video on RU-vid upwards of 15 times and it still makes me laugh every time

You don’t even know how much your videos have helped me as a beginner stage manager, thank you so so soooo much!

@HalfHourCall 2 года назад

Yay! So happy they're helpful!

This is so awesome, the first show I ever stage managed (and called) actually was this show a couple of years ago! Watching this series in preparation for an interview for a stage management internship this week. Thanks so much!!

I’m doing a 4 week theatre summer camp and I’m a stage manager for still life with Iris and I’m freaking out about if I have to do this. I’m an actor but wanted to try something different

@HalfHourCall 3 года назад

You've got this! Summer camps are probably not gonna have anything super intense (no pyro or automation or anything) so it's a great way to get your feet wet! Break a leg!

@marcsilver7185 2 года назад

When there are lighting cues, for example, which need to occur directly on music beats, will you ever let the lighting op take those on their own?

@HalfHourCall 2 года назад

Great question! I generally call everything. I’ll anticipate it a half beat before (for musicals it’s easy to feel the rhythm) so the board op naturally presses the button on the beat. Hope that helps!

@patrickpelletier1862 2 года назад

Do you call mic’s on and off for musicals when actors have body mic’s ?

@HalfHourCall 2 года назад

Great question! Usually the answer is no! The A1 (audio technician mixing the show) takes their own cues, since a good A1 will know what’s needed when. Usually they have their own script, and sometimes turn mics on and off between individual lines! Way too many cues for the stage manager to call.

@@HalfHourCall I really appreciate your answer thank you so much!
