International Stage Management Day is celebrated every year on October 10th to recognise the critical, often unseen work of stage managers in organising and executing live theatre performances. This international day is an opportunity to highlight stage managers as key drivers of theatrical productions, as they oversee every aspect – from scheduling and props to technical cues and the care of the cast – ensuring that the performance runs flawlessly from the first rehearsal to the premiere and subsequent shows.

Dear stage managers, thank you for your hard work and dedication!
