We do have a booth though, which I've always wanted to use for the stage manager. Right now we're just using it for storage. The biggest issue with the booth is that there is no monitor, so I cannot hear what is going on onstage. Plus, it means I need an extra headset for the spotlight op that I normally sit next to and cue manually.
Thanks for the thoughts.

Also, to reply to Charlie: How does your SM call the show AND remain an active participant in set changes? That strikes me as absurdly confusing, and I'd love to hear how the SM makes that work.

We use our entire booth as storage until I got there, they ran sound and lighting from backstage, I found that out and had a fit.
We now use our giant booth for lighting, sound, stage manager, and followspot
