Episode 80: Stage Manager Tiffany Lyn Meadows Tiffany Lyn Meadows started stage managing as a senior in high school having no idea how to put together a prompt book or call a show. Now she's a professional stage manager. What's it like? How does the professional world differ from school? What's the one thing she would like actors to know about stage managers? Tune in and find out. Show Notes Tech Week Bingo Theatrefolk Facebook Episode Transcript Welcome to TFP, The Theatrefolk Podcast. I am Lindsay Price, resident playwright for Theatrefolk. Hello, I hope you're well. Thanks for listening. So, the number one thing that we're not supposed to talk about on podcasts is the weather because nobody cares about the weather where I am, where you are, right? Excellent point… except this winter has been, oh, I cannot think of the vast amount of expletives I would like to use to describe this winter. And, keeping on topic, this winter has really wreaked some havoc on a lot of teachers who are trying to get shows ready for production. Stay tuned after the interview to hear what some teachers are dealing with. This week, we are talking to stage manager Tiffany Lyn Meadows who is down in Florida who is not dealing with this horrific winter. Tiffany is fresh out of college and she started stage managing as a senior in high school, having no idea how to put together prompt book or call a show. Now she's a professional and we wanted to ask her what's it like? You know, how does the professional world differ from school? And what's the one thing she would like actors to know about stage managers. Okay? Let's go find that out. Lindsay: Hello everybody! Thank you for joining me today. Welcome to The Theatrefolk Podcast, TFP, and I'm really pleased with the interview that we're going to be doing today – a little bit different but very, very important in the theatre word – and we have a stage manager with us, Tiffany Lyn Meadows. Hello, Tiffany! Tiffany Lyn: Hi Lindsay! Lindsay: Hi! How are you? Tiffany Lyn: I'm doing well. How are you? Lindsay: I'm pretty awesome. Now, the first thing that I always like to do is just tell people where you are in the world. Tiffany Lyn: I am in Orlando, Florida. Lindsay: In Orlando, Florida, which I'm assuming is much, much warmer than Canada right now. Tiffany Lyn: It is. It's Florida cold though. I think our high today was, like, 55. So, it's pretty frigid for Florida. Lindsay: You poor, poor people. Ugh. It's so horrible. Tiffany Lyn: I know, everybody hates us right now. Lindsay: That's okay. You're a professional stage manager, yeah? And how long have you been one? Tiffany Lyn: I've been stage managing since high school. I graduated from UCF in 2012. So, if you want to count from graduating college on, it's been just over a year. Lindsay: How awesome is it that you were able to make that transition from school to the professional world. Tiffany Lyn: Yeah, it was super awesome. I did an internship with the Orlando Repertory Theatre in 2011 so it was the summer between my second and third year of college and they kept me around. I'm still there today. Lindsay: Do you find any difference between being a stage manager in a school setting to being a stage manager in the professional world? Tiffany Lyn: Yes and no. I think the biggest thing is the way that people will go about helping you. It gets a little harder to be a student stage manager because people will go kind of like, “Go figure it out. Go learn. Go do it.” Lindsay: “This would be a teaching moment.” Tiffany Lyn: Yes, whereas, like in a professional theatre setting, you're not on your own but you figure it out or you can go to somebody who's going to help you right off the bat than kind of let you flounder a little bit to see what you do. Sometimes, people will do that, but it's not any fun. Lindsay: By and large, it's for the good – and by and large,
