I am an upcoming Junior BFA Theatre Design/Technology student focusing on Stage Management at Kent State University. After I graduate I want to stay with Stage Management and be an ASM! I was wondering if anyone knew about any great masters programs in Stage Management I could start looking into?
I know several Stage Managers who attended the MFA program at Yale, and found their experience (including the opportunity to work on professional Yale Rep productions) very strong.
Many Stage Managers I know did not go to graduate school. They started working as a PA in a city or region, and worked their way up.
