Hello,

my name is Anna. I have stage managing experience.

I am currently available. If you need a stage manager for your show, please let me know.
I live in Perth, and I would be happy to send you my CV if you are interested.
I am willing to do co-op and paid work. Depending on my availability, I am also happy to do volunteer work.

Bye,
Anna.

Seeing as the vast majority of professional performances I've been in have been staged in non-theatre venues, it happens for us all the time. In other words, we don't really have a stage manager, and the people who are in it take care of all the stage management-type jobs.

Mainly possible because there are no lighting effects. Performers operate sound cues, either from offstage or by remote trigger. If an actor really needs to be handed a prop rather than managing it themselves, they're not likely to get work with us!

Have also been numerous occasions where someone in a predominantly stage management or musician role has also played minor performance roles, in between attending to offstage duties.

Cheers,
Craig
