17.9.1 THEATERS: STAGE MANAGER
Stage Managers are people who are able to create and delete productions. The
owners of the stage are always stage managers; for stages owned by a guild,
this would be the three guild leaders (guildmaster, guild administrator, and
guild champion). In addition, the owners can appoint other people as stage
managers as follows:
STAGE MANAGERS LIST
STAGE MANAGERS ADD <name>
STAGE MANAGERS REMOVE <name>
This will replace the current list of stage managers, not add to it! If you
want to view the list, check
STAGE STATUS
All stage managing (as well as directing and acting) are done from backstage.
While at the stage,
STAGE BACKSTAGE
will take you there. (Using this to get out of a combat is forbidden.)
Here are the commands used from backstage to create, manipulate, and delete
productions:
BACKSTAGE LIST: Get a list of all productions associated with this stage. If
one is currently selected, it will be indicated with an asterisk (*).
BACKSTAGE CREATE <title>: Create a new production. The title cannot be changed
later, so type carefully. The production will be selected for editing
automatically.
BACKSTAGE SELECT <title>: Select a production for editing or performing. You
can also supply the production number instead of the title.
BACKSTAGE RESET: Resets the stage so that no production is selected for editing
or performing. It's a good idea to do this when you're done, to prevent an
inadverdent change in the production.
BACKSTAGE DELETE <title>: Delete a production. You may not delete the one
currently selected, so you may have to BACKSTAGE RESET first. You will be given
a summary of the production and asked to AGREE to delete it. Deleted
productions are gone forever!
BACKSTAGE STATUS: Summarize the status of the current production.
BACKSTAGE DIRECTOR <name>: Appoint a director to a production. The director is
the person who will set up and run that production. Being the director of one
production doesn't give you any authority over any other production.
