Singin' in the Rain

Singin' in the Rain

Production Stage Manager

Presented by: The University of Minnesota Duluth Theater Department


Challenges of Singin' in the Rain

Singin’ in the Rain was a very large show with many moving parts. There was a cast of 25, however each member of the ensemble played at least 4 roles so keeping track of what cast member was playing when a big task was and was important for the production team. With these many differ roles communicating with the Costume and Hair and Makeup team was crucial. 


The scenic concept of the show had many moving pieces a Scenic wanted the set changes to look like part of the show. The set was bases on a unit set so there where many moving pieces and parts of the set would come on an off during the action of the show by the cast. This made tracking scene changes curial to the success of the show. 


The final part of the show that I would like to highlight is the calling of the lights for the song Broadway Melody. This number had a seven-minuet dance break that was mostly just tapping. It was the hardest lighting sequence that I had called at this point in my career 

Character Breakdown

Singin’ in the Rain was a complex production with a cast of 25, each ensemble member taking on at least four roles. Managing these numerous roles and ensuring proper coordination between the production team and the Costume, Hair, and Makeup departments was vital. The Character Breakdown, featured here, was a key tool in maintaining clear communication and organization throughout the production process.

Shift Plot

The scenic design for the show featured a dynamic unit set with multiple moving parts. Set changes were integrated into the action of the performance, executed by the cast, to appear seamless and organic. This required meticulous tracking of scenic transitions. The Shift Plot was an essential document that detailed all scene changes, ensuring the success of each performance.

Properties Tracking

The Stage Management Team also handled properties during the show. This sample of props tracking and preset paperwork demonstrates how we ensured all items were properly organized and positioned for each performance, contributing to the overall success of the production.

Broadway Melody Call Sheet

A standout moment in the production was the lighting sequence for the "Broadway Melody" number, which included a seven-minute dance break featuring intricate tap choreography. Calling the lighting cues for this sequence was one of the most challenging and rewarding experiences of my career.
