In our school, there aren't enough people on stage crew usually for me, as Stage Director, to be at the Tech Table like is ideal. Since this is the case, I always stay backstage and help. Usually I try not to assign any set pieces to myself. If I have to, it is something smaller or closer to the wing so that I can get back to the wing ASAP. The reasonong behind these practices is so that I can ckeck and make sure that everything is on that needs to be. My question is: Do you find it strange that a SM is backstage for the entire show, every show? Also, do you have any ideas for how I might go about enlarging my crew (since I am lucky to have enough people to cover the entire set)?
