Deputy Stage Manager (DSM)

The Deputy Stage Manager:

• Is in charge of running the show and should be aware of all cues.
• Is heavily involved in the tech run, calling cues and adjusting them as required.
• Communicates with the tech team via 'cans' headsets.
• Times the show
• Attends the paper tech, where they will go over the cues from each department.
• Needs to be familiar with the script so they can 'fix the show' if things go wrong (e.g. cast missing lines).
