Default Re: Assistant SM

Speaking as an ASM...

I find it can be very helpful to sit down with the SM a few days before rehearsals begin and go over what my job title entails. Every SM has a different definition of what an ASM does - from being on book, to taking all the blocking, to getting coffee on every break. It's good to clarify what you can before there are any surprises.

As an SM...

I would love to have an assistant who didn't require direction. Not someone who reads minds, just a person who can take initiative.
