The Emerging Artists Fellowship Program is a paid program for early-career arts administrators and theatre production practitioners. Participants are given practical learning experiences and independent and collective projects, all while working as a part of a team with American Stage staff and guest artists.
The Stage Management Fellow works directly with our professional stage management team from pre-production through final performance. During the process, the candidate will have the opportunity to maintain paperwork, take line notes, be on book, preset and manage run crews for productions, and rehearse understudies, among other duties. Stage Management Fellows are required to attend daytime rehearsals and become an active run crew member during evening performances. In addition to mainstage productions, fellows will have the opportunity to stage manage other American Stage programming such as Beyond Series programming, Education Dept. events, or other community events/programming throughout the season.
