SM Desk

The SM Desk (Stage Manager's Desk) is positioned in the Stage Left wing and is essential to efficiently stage managing any performance in the ADC Theatre. It is normally managed by the Deputy Stage Manager during productions who is reponsible for monitoring the fire panel to the left of the desk, calling cues using the inbuilt cans system or cue lights, and communicating with the rest of the theatre using the paging system, bar bells, god mic and phone.

For more information please see Page 11 of the ADC Stage Management Guide!

Help! The SM Desk is not working properly!

The best strategy to fix the SM desk if it is not doing what you expect is to turn it off and on again a few times! You can also contact the ADC Technical Manager at technical@cuadc.org or CUADC Stage Managers' Rep at sm@cuadc.org to see if they can help!

If the god mic is not working it is probably because it has not been patched in the sound box. It needs to be patched in the bantam patch on the far side of the sound box from the God Mic to a channel of the desk, and then that channel needs to be turned on on the desk. On the ADC Base File the God Mic is already on channel 28 so once it's been bantam patched it should work!
