Ever wonder who makes Conference events run so smoothly? The flow of events such as Keynote, Tech Olympics, and the New Products Showcase is made possible by those involved in the Stage Management Mentor Project (SMMP).
Work alongside professional stage managers as they guide you through key elements and provide mentorship while learning the ins and outs of managing events on a large Conference-style scale.
This practical training experience is available to students who are members or will become members. Students must also be enrolled in at least the third year of an undergraduate university program or be a graduate student. If you’re a young professional, you must be in the first two years of paid employment in the performing arts field.
Mentors look forward to a new batch of participants each year, bringing their expertise and passion to the program.
“I love being part of the SMMP,” mentor Jay Sheehan said. “I love being around students, mentoring, and teaching. I love my friends that I get to see once a year along with the camaraderie and family-ness I feel when I get here.”
