The Stage Management Committee has been serving Equity members working in stage management since the early ’90s. By engaging with our community, we have ensured that Council policy and Equity’s various agreements continue to reflect the needs of stage managers working in all areas of Equity’s jurisdiction.
Many of the resources below were created by the SM Committee. If you have any questions or suggestions, please reach out to smcommittee@caea.com.
From callboard materials to helpful guides, these resources are intended to support stage managers in their workplace.
Resources for tracking of stage management work hours, calculating overtime and penalty payments, and calculating Employment Standards overtime across Canada.
Whether you have yet to begin work on your first apprentice credit or you are well into the process, there are resources and tips from the Stage Management committee to help guide your apprenticeship and stage management journey. At some point, we hope to see you hired on to stage manage a show by yourself, and it’s important that you have the skills and experience you need in order to do that well!
Apprentice Advisors are volunteer stage managers from across Canada who are available to support apprentice stage managers. They can help answer questions about Equity, scale agreements, engagement policies, and general stage management practices. Share your stage management experience and support the next generation of stage managers!
Stage Managing the Arts (SMArts) is an instructional service organization providing quality training to stage managers, from early career counselling to high-level mid-career professional development.
