Perhaps you want to know the inner workings of stage management, or what the reality of writing a text book on the subject truly is? Allow your curiosity to be fulfilled by this week's featured Guest. Michael Vitale has spent years as an AEA & AGMA stage manager working in theatre, dance, musical theatre, special events, opera, and classical music.
