Cue-in the Chaos:
An Introduction to the Art of Stage Management
Led by Brian Robrecht
If you’ve ever wanted to be involved in the performing arts, but would rather be backstage than on stage, this is your chance to learn stage management from one of the most experienced stage managers in Newport!
Stage management is a vital component of theatrical productions, from the moment rehearsals begin until the last bow has been taken. This six-week course will cover…
* Pre-production
* Rehearsals
* The Tech Process
* Dress Rehearsals
* Performances
Participants will also have an opportunity to get hands-on experience, working on a live performance (Porthole Players’ short play festival – “B.o.a.T.S.” or “Based on a True Story”) This is a unique opportunity to take newly learned skills and apply them directly to a live production.
April 14 – May 26*
Monday Evenings, 6-8pm
$25 | Ages 16+
Newport Performing Arts Center
* Note: No class May 12
Space is limited to 8 participants.
Brian Robrecht has been stage managing for the better part of 20 years. He has worked on everything from a one-person show in a small space to large-scale musicals with an orchestra in larger venues.
