Stage/Floor Managers
Taxonomy Code: YO-0300.6400-750
Individuals who provide practical and organizational support to the director, actors, designers, stage crew and technicians throughout the process of producing a play or filming a television program. Key responsibilities of stage managers (floor managers in the television industry) are scheduling and running rehearsals, communicating the director's wishes to designers and crafts people, coordinating the work of the stage crew, calling cues and actors' entrances during performance/filming and, in the case of stage productions, overseeing the entire show each time it is performed. They record the director's decisions about blocking, light, sound and set change cues and notes for the actors in a master copy of the script called the prompt book and then use the prompt book to run the technical rehearsals, calling each technical cue in turn to determine precisely how it needs to be timed to coordinate with the onstage action. Floor managers of television productions make sure the cast, crew and guests are ready for filming. They also schedule rehearsals, manage props and technical cues, provide the cast and crew with timing signals and lay out any marks the actors or hosts need to hit (this is known as "blocking"). If there is a set, the floor manager sees that the set is torn down when the show is finished, (also known as "striking" the set).
