Dimino Expectations
Dimino Expectations
Dimino knows that you are not a professional stage manager, and in many instances, this is your first time stage managing. All they expect is for you to do your best. That means you need to be willing to solve problems, work with others, establish efficient systems that are unique to YOU, and always be respectful.
Work-life balance is a very important value in this department. You shouldn't be pouring all your free time into your show, because that leads to burnout. However, you ARE expected to take initiative and prioritize. After all, this is a leadership position––you will be in rehearsals every day.
