Thinking About the Broadway Stage Management Symposium? It’s Worth Investing In.
Mel from brokeGIRLrich here! As you know, we’re all about smart and budget-friendly ways to enrich our lives. Sometimes, that means finding experiences that are so valuable, we’re willing to splurge.
Are you an aspiring stage manager dreaming of Broadway? Or maybe a student, just starting on this career path? If your answer is yes, then Broadway Stage Management Symposium is your golden ticket! This event-packed weekend is all about learning from educational presentations, networking with top professionals, and getting hands-on experience with the latest technologies. You’ll even get a chance to see a Broadway show and enjoy copious amounts of coffee!
Two years ago, I had the opportunity to share financial advice and ideas for healthier money habits for those in the arts. It also gave me this incredible chance to connect with some brilliant stage managers. Each lecture offered unique lessons, making the experience incredibly valuable.
This year, I’m particularly excited about several lectures, including ‘Fight & Flight: What SMs Need to Know’, ‘Social Media for Stage Managers’, and information on new technologies like Cast98 and The Cue List. A variety of other topics will be discussed – everything from maintaining team morale to stage management from the actor’s perspective.
The Symposium is happening on June 1st and 2nd in New York City. I know the costs may seem a bit steep, but here are some ways to manage it:
1. The Symposium offers 4 or 12 payment plans.
2. You could offset some costs with rewards from your credit card, as long as you pay off the balance right away.
3. Be creative! Look for travel deals or cheaper accommodations. You might even find a Symposium attendee to split hotel costs with.
Remember, investing in this Symposium is investing in your career and your future. Can’t wait to see you there! Spread the word, save this message, and share it with your fellow stage managers. Catch you soon!
