Stage management, at the core, is the organizing and coordinating of a theatrical production. The words organizing and coordinating encompass a wide variety of activities between director, crew, actors and management. In short, Stage Managers coordinate every aspect of a production, ensuring a successful performance. In our continuing series of interviews with Austin Technical Theatre people, we sat down recently with Stage Manager Rachel Dendy to give our readers a look backstage into a world most audiences never see.

This Tony Award-winning play introduces audiences to the unforgettable characters Nat and Midge, two senior citizens who meet in Central Park to escape and combat the sometimes unpleasant realities of life.

As Toner says, "They're damn near old enough to play the parts now!"
