  • Manage the stage during all aspects of the show—both during performance and between calls.
  • Conduct soundcheck and pre-show preparation, working through notes from the previous performance and coordinating with the Performers and technical departments.
  • Chair daily Circle Meetings and facilitate post-show notes sessions, ensuring relevant updates are distributed via show reports.
  • Observe performances in each venue, make detailed performance and technical notes, and communicate feedback to relevant departments.
  • Maintain and update the calling script, including territory-specific modifications.
  • Complete and distribute show reports after each performance, communicating with all technical departments to identify and resolve show-related issues.

  • Work closely with the Production Manager and Technical Direction team during load-ins to ensure proper scenic placement and operational flow.
  • Provide Stage Management support for press events, promotional gigs, and creative appearances, including show calling, props coordination, and staffing.
  • Serve as primary point of contact for the Performers throughout the tour.
  • Scheduling & Communication

  • Collaborate with the Company Manager, Production Manager and Blue Man Captain to prepare and distribute the weekly company schedule, including performances, rehearsals, press calls, and creative sessions.
  • Create and distribute daily calls for performers, including transport details where required, and communicate any updates to all relevant departments.
  • Coordinate performer coverage for sickness or injury in partnership with the Company Manager.
  • Safety

  • Champion and enforce all Blue Man Group and CDSEG health and safety policies throughout all performances and backstage operations.
  • Ensure Stage Management maintains compliance with safety, emergency, and hazard protocols in coordination with the Production Manager and Technical Direction team.
  • Promote a proactive safety culture that prioritizes the well-being of performers, crew, and audience members.
  • Administration & Budget Management

  • Collaborate with Production Manager to maintain the Stage Management and Props budgets, approving expenditures and overseeing Assistant Stage Manager ordering and stock levels.
  • Track and follow up on notes from prior show reports, ensuring issues are addressed promptly and communicated clearly.
  • Assist with documentation, payroll verification, and administrative tasks as needed.
  • Key Attributes

  • Strong leadership and interpersonal skills with the ability to motivate and guide diverse teams.
  • Intuitive, proactive, and calm under pressure.

  • Excellent organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills.
  • High attention to detail and discretion when handling sensitive information.
