THETR-384 The Art and Artistry of Calling a Show

Building on the ability to make a complete and accurate stage manager's book learned in Intro to Stage Management, this experiential learning course will teach advanced calling skills. In calling a show, the stage manager cues all technicians to execute changes in lighting, sound, flying elements and special effects during performances. A well-called show is an artistic achievement no less than a well-acted, directed or designed show. The course will demonstrate the construction of cues and how they promote and support the artistic vision of the production. Outside class work will include attending and writing analyses of professional performances..
