Deadline Extended to May 10th for SMA Nominations
1st May 2013
Do
you know an SM, DSM, ASM or team who have performed exceptionally in
2012-2013? Do you have an SM team who
really ought to be recognised for their work?
Whether it is through a determination to get show on the road, smiling
through adversity, brilliant creativity, or flawless communication and support,
stage management can so often make the difference between an average production
and a really great experience.
Stage
Managers are at the creative heart of live theatre and events in the UK, and
for 16 years the National Stage Management Awards have offered the opportunity
for stage management to step into the spotlight and take a bow themselves!
The
SMA is pleased to announce the 2013 National Stage Management Awards, and seeks
your nominations in the following categories (anyone can nominate or be
nominated, not just SMA members):
Individual Stage Manager Award: Outstanding individual contribution to stage management by an ASM, DSM
or (C)SM on a show or season
Team Award: A team
whose achievement on a single show or a season was exceptional
Outstanding Contribution Award: An
award which recognises the major career achievement of an individual stage
manager.
Please
don't delay: nominations close on May 10th 2013
The
Individual and team award winners will receive an original and unique framed
Hamlet cartoon (courtesy of Harry Venning and The Stage) as well as a year's
free Professional Membership of the SMA.
The
Awards Ceremony for 2013 will again take place alongside the ABTT Show at The
Old Truman Brewery, Brick Lane in East London on the 12th June. The
Event is generously sponsored by THE STAGE and hosted by the SMA and ABTT Theatre Show.
Since
1998 we are proud to have received the generous support of THE STAGE for these awards, and more recently, GDS have kindly sponsored
the Student Achievement award (nominated by the colleges whose members are
eligible for Graduate membership of the SMA) and SMA members can nominate
their industry hero for the 'Golden Headset' Award.
