The Staging Staff Caucus invites all AGMA Staging Staff members to its next meeting on Monday, September 11, at 9:00 p.m. ET for an in-depth discussion on the staging staff pipeline.
Industry experts, including Stage Manager Jean Egdorf of The Open Stage Project, will present and discuss "Addressing the Pipeline: The Next Generation of Staging Staff" to AGMA Staging Staff members. AGMA members with connections to training programs will share their successes and guidance on how other institutions can create similar programs and insight on how to better support and uplift professionals from underrepresented groups.
This presentation and discussion will not be recorded, so attendance is encouraged. Held over Zoom, any AGMA Staging Staff members that are interested in attending should register for the virtual event here. The Staging Staff Caucus looks forward to a lively discussion about the future of the profession!
