Northlight Production Assistant / Floor Manager
I have the joy of working with Northlight Theatre in their 2024-2025 season on all of their productions as both a productoin assistant and floor manager. As a PA and FM I had the following responsibilities:
-
Assist stage manager with setting up room, including taping out set, assembling and printing production packets, and setting up sanitation/writing stations for first rehearsal
-
Tracking all backstage elements, including scenic transitions, prop tracking, costume changes, and anything involving backstage crew; create PA workbook to track all these materials
-
Assist stage manager as needed throughout rehearsal, including being on book, taking line notes, and setting up/taking down the room each day
-
Train and familiarize Wardrobe crew with backstage duties, including walking through onstage and offstage presets, working through transitions, and any other responsibilities that involve them during the show.
-
Set-up backstage area, run deck crew track and complete assigned pre/post show duties for all previews and performances.
-
If just working as PA, I would serve as a floater in tech and assist those as needed; could involve supply runs, wrangling actors, being on book and doing line notes, etc. and am off contract after 2nd preview.
Northlight PA Workbook
Working at Northlight, the backstage Floor Manager and I collaborated to create a workbook containing our paperwork for the duration of the show. While certain shows required more specific tracking, the basic workbook contains the following information:
-
Scene Breakdown / ENT&EXT
-
Prop Preset
-
Costume Preset
-
Shift Plot
-
Run Sheets
​
Please reach out to see examples of the workbook we created for the various productions throughout Northlight's season.
