Build Your Future in Stage Management
The Stage Management Certificate is designed to prepare the student for occupational competency as a Stage Manager in educational, community and resident theatre venues as well as theme park, television and motion picture studios. Stage Managers, unlike television or film directors, who document their product with cameras, make sure that the cast and crew give a consistently strong live performance.
