- notify thedesigners and crafts people of changes made in rehearsal
The stage manager and the technical director also work out a smooth andefficient plan for the stage crew to follow during set changes. Furniture andprop plans for complicated sets are drawn up by the stage manager and technicaldesigner to show exactly where the furniture and props are to be positioned onstage at the beginning of each scene and sometimes in the wings.
