We do have a ASM technically, but you can consider our set manager the same thing. Our S/M will suppliment any large
cue calling, but we tend to leave that to the area heads instead, maintain order, keep
track of whats going on for a referance
point, help actors that may need anyhting, and do any of the go between for any areas and the actors/dramatics director. The set manager on the other
hand is in charge of the
stage hands and reports to the S/M. He mostly handles scene changes and is the guy that wears the
headset to take directions from the S/M as to what to tell his
stage hands what to do. Hes also there so that if the S/M is in the
house as we often are, hes the go between for the actor and S/m.
