In \"Part 1: Work,\" the contributors share a wide range of experiences, from regional theatre and Broadway to operas and cruises-and even running with the circus. The essays in \"Part 2: Life\" explore the relevance of stage managers claiming their identity, their resilience, and practicing self-care. Finally, in \"Part 3: Career,\" readers receive aspirational and business advice for life in the real world: leadership, networking, unemployment, managing demanding calendars, and career planning. The book ends with a moment of pause during tech-a direct response to the absence we have been enduring throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and a tribute to a world we used to take for granted. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntertwining practical advice with personal anecdotes, \u003cem\u003eOff Headset\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e: Essays on Stage Management Work, Life, and Career\u003c\/em\u003e is the perfect accompaniment to students studying stage management in a university setting and professionals working in the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rafael Jaen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367337525\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367337520\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/27\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Rafael Jaen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43990432284927,"sku":"9780367337520","price":42.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_923168b2-d6e2-482f-80d3-f98c7250f882.jpg?v=1683304636","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/off-headset-rafael-jaen-9780367337520","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
