Stage Management Resources Online

We live in weird times, but one of the silver linings right now is the incredible wealth of information stage managers are pouring out on the internet.While some of these sources have been around for years, others seem to be popping up daily while stage managers find cool, new ways to put that urge to help folks to good use.(And if you know of a source I missed, feel free to add it in the comments – especially since I’m aware this list is very American-skewed!)This first set of websites contain a wide variety of info, networking opportunities, webinars, podcasts, and other useful tools (please be aware that a few of these sites require membership, but there is also some free material available on all of them):
