Technical Masterclass: Stage Management

Taking notes, calling cues and keeping everyone on task – stage managers do it all! Although they might not take bows, they keep the show running from the first day of rehearsal until the final curtain call. We’re excited to dedicate the first masterclass of the year to these unsung heroes of theater. Join Rachael Rhoades, who has managed stages all around the Twin Cities, to learn the basics and hone your skills as a stage manager. Virtual attendance options will be available.
