Tiffany Owen replied to Kayla Koester's discussion Stage Managment Class question #5 in the group Stage ManagementTiffany Owen replied to Tiffany Owen's discussion Production Manager vs Stage Manager Duties in the group Stage Management"Definitely. This is a community theatre I'm currently working for though most of the designer and TD positions are paid, though not much. My run crew is one girl working for a stipend but who has some ASM/crew experience and a 14yr old intern…"
Rob Scott replied to Tiffany Owen's discussion Production Manager vs Stage Manager Duties in the group Stage Management"Not a bad division of labor, all in all. Our community theater operates at a high level, and our (paid staff) Producing Director handles most of what your PM did in much the same manner. Because usually everyone except the director of the play is…"
Tiffany Owen replied to Tiffany Owen's discussion Production Manager vs Stage Manager Duties in the group Stage Management"Well there was some bad communication but I think that was mostly the designer's fault. The PM took care of running and scheduling production meetings, and took the minutes. I sent out nightly rehearsal reports and he took care of keeping tabs…"

Erin Swank replied to Tiffany Owen's discussion Production Manager vs Stage Manager Duties in the group Stage Management"I think the biggest thing about PMs and SMs that varies at theatres is which one runs the production meetings. Either way is fine, in my book, just discuss it ahead of time...and if the PM is running them, of course make sure you have your own list…"

Steve replied to Tiffany Owen's discussion Production Manager vs Stage Manager Duties in the group Stage Management"Well, If the production manager really knows what they're doing, they should take on most of the extraneous duties an SM always gets stuck with. The production manager should make sure tech staff is in place and know when they need to be…"
Bo Metzler replied to Tiffany Owen's discussion Production Manager vs Stage Manager Duties in the group Stage Management"In general . . .in simple terms. . . you deal with rehearsals and the show (production book, blocking, cues, schedule) things that are directly related to the cast.

Production Manager vs Stage Manager Duties
Hi! I am starting work with a new company SMing their first show of the season starting next week. They have a full time production manager and I have never actually worked with a company that had one. I'm not 100% sure of what i should be expecting him to do and vice versa. Any tips or a point in the direction of a website or something would be great. Thanks!See More
