2-Hour Meeting Answer #2

1) What makes a Stage Manager essential to a theatrical production?
2) A Stage Manager is essential because they are the people who call the shows.
3) 
a. Calling the show and the cues is the way the Stage Manager keeps the show running smoothly, by communicating with the tech crew, stage crew, house, and actors.
b. During the show, this is the Stage Managers main job, as it requires a lot of focus and attention to detail.
c. When the Stage Manager is running the show, the entire production is in their hands, and that is a lot of power that can only be taken on by people who can work with and lead others.
4) Source 27, an article titled Stage Management by Alandra Hileman, showed me that running the show is one of the most complex and rewarding tasks that a Stage Manager must perform.
5) I plan to continue my study of my seconds answer by looking up for research, and through real life experience in my independent component.
