replies: text: You know, I really don't think the page needed to be moved.  "Assistant Stage Manager" is a title and from what I've been reading all words in titles can be capitalized. Lekogm 14:15, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: But it's not just used as a title — you can say (as Peter Davison does) "...worked as an assistant stage manager".  In that usage, it's not a proper noun, and Wikipedia:Naming conventions (capitalization) says "Unless the term you wish to create a page for is a proper noun, do not capitalize second and subsequent words."  On the other hand, I can see the argument for it being a title, like Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.  I'll ask at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (capitalization) and see what the thinking is there. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 00:35, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Okay, it really weirds me out to see Assistant stage manager.  In the main article, you have the abbreviation ASM, you talk about how this individual reports to the Stage Manager or the Production Stage Manager.  This article discusses the position of Assistant Stage Manager.  It's a title and should be capitalized.  Peter Davison is just an actor...what does he know ;-)  Karinagw 12:31, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: While I agree completely with you, the folks over at Wikipedia:Naming conventions (capitalization) feel/felt that it was justified apparently. --Lekogm 14:05, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Assistant Stage Manager vs Assistant stage manager

message: I believe the cue calls to be inaccurate. I work in a U.S. theatre, and have worked in others, and our calls generally follow the following pattern:
SM: Stand by, lights 34.
(Optional) LBO: Standing by.
SM: Lights 34, go.
Should we make a change?  
What about the rest of the English-speaking world? Does that reflect on them in any way? Dieter Simon 00:05, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Just a note, in the US, not all professional stage managers are represented by Actors' Equity Association and/or the American Guild of Musical Artists (AGMA).  There many non-Equity professional companies.  This isn't to say that we non-Equity stage managers don't use as guidelines the requirements set forth by Equity, but we are not bound by them.

message: In the US, there is a professional organisation called the Stage Managers' Association. The website is located at:
http://www.stagemanagers.org/
and includes a brief history. The organisation was founded in 1982, having begun as social meetings, becoming a formal organisation fairly quickly. That's what happens when you get a group of professional organisers together. It has connections with, but is not a part of, Actors' Equity, and the founding members were also instrumental in creating a Stage Managers Committee in the AEA to help review contracts, formulate policy and offer advice on matters pertaining to stage management.
There is a similar, and older, organisation in the UK called the Stage Management Association (http://www.stagemanagementassociation.co.uk/).
