History of Stage Managers: Article for Sale

I’m publishing for sale, through Scribd.com, a unique piece on the history of theatrical stage managers from ancient Greek drama to the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, Vaudeville & Variety to the contemporary theatre. The article is 700 words, costs $5, and is a one-of-a-kind distillation of stage management history found nowhere else online. Preview available below:

Thornton Wilder’s ‘Stage Manager’ in “Our Town”: A Historical Perspective

Also available for sale, used with permission, is another one-of-a-kind piece I’m having published in the International Journal of Ambient Computing and intelligence: Adapting Technical Theatre Principles and Practices to Immersive Computing and Mixed Reality Environments.

    Hi Tim,

    Good job on rounding up all the references regarding the history of stage management. As a some time SM trainer, I really wish I had a pound for every time a student submits a an essay that starts:

    “There is a profound lack of information regarding the history and evolution of stage management…”

    Given that we live in a world were Google is a synonym for research I guess this is not really surprising.

    Ill be interested to see how many now and future students of mine will freely plagiarize your scribd.com article!

    Best

    Mark

    Haha, hi Mark. Pleasure to make your acquaintance. I thought of that as well, about students likely plagiarizing this article. I’m just hoping they’ll spend the five dollars!

    A family member who is in college reported that classmates had brought in an article I wrote about circus characters as a reference for a class project on the subject.
