Stage Managers at the U (SMU) has been created to further students’ education by providing real-life experiences with professionals in the field of stage management in all realms of performance, hosting various outings to further community building, build and adapt skills that can be used through all walks of life.
Our goal is to get a better understanding of stage management in the real world by connecting with professionals not only in the state of Utah but around the country. While on campus our goal is to set students up with real-life skills that can be applied beyond the field of theatre. We strive to provide young theatre professionals with real-life skills that can be used beyond the field of theatre. The goal is to learn how any new-found skills can be used beyond college, and network with current working professionals both locally and across the country through yearly research trips, internships, and shadowing experiences, all while creating a sense of camaraderie and community for both students and professionals.
