The role of an assistant stage manager has a variety of different duties and responsibilities
that they undertake before, during and after shows. They will do jobs that have been
assigned to them by the stage manager or deputy stage manageras long as it is part of the
stage management role. The pay scale for an assistant stage manager isn’t really too large it
can range from £16000 to £17000 and deputy stage managers can earn slightly more
whereas stage managers depending on how experienced they are can range from £20000 to
£40000.
Before a show has been put on the ASM is involved with the auditions and preparation of
rehearsal room. They also participate in the procurement of props, furniture and set
dressing. While the show is on or touring they are also responsible for maintaining the props
so that they aren’t damaged and can still be used in the show. The ASM can also cover
rehearsals if needed and take charge of running the rehearsal if needed. They also play a
role in the event planning team to make sure that it runs on time and also they know where
and when different people should be in different places.
During a show the ASM has the responsibility of scheduling the show and making sure that
the shows runs on time and that all performers are present to preform. They have the major
responsibility of setting props and usually controlling backstage so that the stage manager is
free to troubleshoot any problems that occur during the show/ event. Not only do they have
to make sure all performers are on time but they also need to make sure that all other
teams such as front of house and technical are sticking to deadlines to. They may also be
needed to assist where else if needed.
Once the show/event is complete they take responsibility of the props, set &costume. This
involvesmaking sure that they are removed and placed into transport safely and correctly to
prevent any damage to them. Another responsibility is the schedule of the teams to make
sure that the public and performers are out of the venue and all the technical equipment is
in transport and has been fully de-rigged. This is important to make sure that the venue is
left how it was previously was before the show/event.
