In my house, the SM calls cues from stage right (which has some blind spots). Since light cues generally consist of the lighting person pressing the "go" button on the ETC console, can someone give me a compelling reason why NOT to move my stage manager to the controlbooth and run the lights, while calling the rest of the show? For one thing, she would not be in traffic, and for another, she would always have a good view of the stage (I have hooked up a 7" monitor for her/him, but it isn't quite the same). But, is there something really obvious I am overlooking?
