Anyone here on Production Crew?

Hey all, I know I never post on this board but I'm sick of just lurking, hehe. Anyway, I'm Production Asst. for my school's two shows this year and I am having a total blast. Anyone else work backstage? Stage managers? Directors? Set crew-ers? Etc.?

I know that I myself want to go to college to become a Production Stage Manager on Broadway *dreamy sigh*. And for anyone reading this who knows about Equity Cards...pardon my stupidity, but do you need one in order to get a job Stage Manager-ing? *cowers in shame* I definately need to read more than I already am...

SM's are members of equity, most other positions belong to the stage hands union (I don't remember their official title). Equity encompasses all actors and stage managers.

(Edit)

Sorry, I guess I should go into more detail. The stage hands union is a short hand that I'm using for the IATSE which is the Int'l Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees. It's basically a gigantic organization that has tons of local groups, New York City (broadway) is based in Local One. Their members are those who build and operate pretty much every technical element of theatre.

Actors Equity Association (ASA) is home to all the stage actors and managers out there.
