how the term came about, and other terms for the stage managers predecessors. Then we can begin to look into how the role has evolved over time into the present craft students are being taught on technical production courses in theatre in different locations around the world. To begin, we must investigate the term of ‘stage management’. As we look back into history, we can see that people who were what we know today as stage managers, did not have that title, however they performed a similar function in the theatre. In the 1800s we can see that stage management would have been two roles; actor-manager, someone who was usually an actor, but also managed the company and props of performances, and a book-keeper, someone who was the actors’ prompt and also knew the blocking of the performance (Gordon Craig, 1962). Beyond this point in history, we begin to lose clarity as to the terms used, however we can infer that someone who performed a similar role to todays satge manager must have existed to control such things as the theatre licensing, scenic changes and timing of particular elements (Maccoy, 2005). This prototypical stage manager can first begin to be seen in the time of Roman theatre and the Middle Ages where use of a stage and incorporating elements of what would usually be in the audience’s imagination into the production. Perhaps the best piece of evidence showing great technical entrepreneurship is in the craftsmanship of C. Curio, who constructed two theatres in…

rebounders sticking out of the sides and top. Placing it back in it’s usual spot on Rylan’s driveway I walk back to him and grab my gloves. Slipping them on I ask when he’s getting his new puckboard. The old one is maybe one by three feet big. Barely large enough for one person to shoot compared to the eight by four he said he was getting soon which would allow both of us the chance to shoot at the same time. “I guess we’ll take turns then right?” I ask him. He shrugs and mentions that he’s…

Apologising, I straighten his coat. His face turning red, he babbles angrily. People around us notice the commotion, coming over to help him get his balance, taking advantage, I ‘accidentally’ skew his balance. Reaching to help him, my hand slips into his pocket, pulling out his wallet, quickly weighing it in my hand, I slide it into my back pocket. Catching his wrist I clumsily pull him forward, unclasping his watch. A Rolex. Score. I scamper away, panting and apologising, trying hard not to…

Another chair flew across the room while you laugh with glee at Soldier 76's rage. "Let me see you! I can feel that your here moving my things, frying my electronics. I can hear your laughter. Your empty words of sympathy to comfort me.. Show yourself or leave!" You rematerialize enough to appear but remain transparent. "Why should I give you the gift of peace when all you gave me was pain?". Jack had snatched you away from your home one night when you were sleeping. You woke up screaming…

Relative to the Corner, the members of the inner-city neighborhood are likely to share a number of core values, including ones that relate to the justice system and the skewed government assistance programs.

I stand shell-shock. Looking at the women only fifteen years older than me. My mother. I'm watching her get pulled away from me. She's screaming at the big men in black suits to keep me safe. She is pulled away from me. Before I can help it, tears are welling in my eyes, and I am screaming. "I want mom back! BRING HER BACK!" I am sobbing by the time I am done. A woman then crouches in front of my two-year-old form. "It's okay sweetie. We’re gonna bring you and your brother to a better home."…

July 29th, 2028. Los Angeles California, I was sitting in my office with a birds eye view off my store. Hype City Melrose. I was finishing some things on my computer, replying to emails and ordering more stock for our store. I had Giancarlo, Wajeeh, and Diego downstairs helping customers and watching the store for me. It was a slow Tuesday afternoon, only a couple customers an hour. We were about to close the store for the night and a group of 4 walked in. They all looked suspicious but I did…

Why should St. Patrick's Day be a holiday for everyone? Well this should be interesting because this is coming from a Students perspective. Here are my reasons for my argument on St. Patrick's Day. My first reason is for this is that me as a student I would like to spend extra time with my parents because, when we are home and they aren't you don't need to be home I know I would rather be at school.
