I need some help. I'm currently working in a highschool and I'm having trouble with some of the crew and my stage manager. I'll talk about the crew first.
We seem to have a problem with some students and maintaining discipline on our communication headsets. There's always some form of side conversation going on and the only way I've found to stop it is to yell at them. This is unfair both to those who are doing their job well and not talking. I'd really like some insights into how to deal with this.
My stage manager has this thing for rotating everyone into every position (lights, sounds, stage) even if they've already proved their expertise in another feild. He is new so I can give him credit for trying new things but soemtimes I find it so very frustrating that a show runs bad because they wrong people were chosen for certain jobs. If any of you have dealt with anything lik this, please respond with how you dealt with it.
