STAGE MANAGEMENT FORMS LIBRARY
PRE-PRODUCTION PAPERWORK
Stage Management Handbook (2025 Edition)
An update: There is now an SM callboard starter in the theatresm account. If you are building your show callboard through this user name, you can duplicate it to create your own. If you are building your show callboard in your own account, Laurie can show you how to duplicate and transfer the callboard starter if you'd like. And for more help, see below. Please always DUPLICATE rather than changing the starter, and avoid the AI helper options every time they are offered!
