Two-day workshop on stage management

Woy Woy Little Theatre will hold a stage management workshop at Peninsula Theatre on December 16 to 17, from 10am to 4pm.

The workshop will be conducted by Derek Simpson, an ex-production manager of the Bristol Old Vic, England.

"Derek has over 20 years' experience in professional theatre in various roles including production management, stage management and set design," said publicity officer Ms Rosemary Parsons.

Some of the topics of the workshop were the responsibilities of the stage manager in the audition and rehearsal process, the organisational skills needed as they relate to the technical process, and how to mark up a stage, make a prompt copy, mark up a props table and run a show.

The workshop will cost $20 for Woy Woy Little Theatre members, $40 for non-members and $10 for students.

Participants must be aged 16 and over.

The workshop is supported by Gosford Council.
