People skills are central to the Stage and Costume Management pathway (part of the Guildhall School of Music & Drama's BA in Technical Theatre Arts). Keeping actors, directors, designers and the different departments within a theatre in the know is crucial from before the moment rehearsals start, on through technical rehearsals in the theatre and right to the last minute of a long run. This requires skills of both organisation and diplomacy, working with colleagues both of an artistic and a logistical mindset. The Costume Management part of the pathway isn't about making costumes, but does involve liaising really closely with designers and those responsible for the manufacturing, procurement and maintenance processes. Students on the pathway will also be involvement in procurement both of costume items and props, a process particularly relevant for Assistant Stage Managers (ASMs). Deputy Stage Managers (DSMs) are based in the rehearsal room for the entirety of the rehearsal process, and then go on to call the show during the run. Stage Managers (SMs) oversee the whole process and have a particularly high administrative responsibility
