Stage Manager Production Book


1. . Purpose. Compare three samples of the following types of forms used by stage managers. Samples should show how the same information can be organized in three distinct ways. Choose styles that clearly indicate specific advantages or disadvantages of each document.

2. Samples. Examples submitted can be:

• created on your own
• created by another student
• photocopied from reference books
• printed from the internet

A good place to start your search might be: http://www.d.umn.edu/~mharvey/websitestagemanagement.html

All samples from reference books, other students, or the internet must be labeled with the source of the document.

3. Documents should be placed in sections in a three-ring binder in the following order:

4. Commentary. In your own words, on a single typewritten page for each section, explain the features of each group of documents and how they each might be better organized, more functional, or better formatted than other examples.

5. Presentation. Be prepared to point out specific differences of each document in your production book to the class.

6. Hand project in to the instructor. Be sure your name is on the inside cover of the three ring binder. No projects will be accepted after the last day of class.
