"Planning Ahead:" Che Wernsman, Stage Manager

Who can carry on four conversations at once, keep track of an ever-growing list of props and ques, and fix the plot hole in the second act? A stage manager, and Che Wernsman is one of the best in the DMV. The resident SM at Round House Theatre, Che shares her journey to become an equity stage manager, her thoughts on why military members make great theater makers, and how SMs maintain the integrity of a show over its run. We also discuss important changes in tech and rehearsal processes to take better care of crew members, and more.
