    The document provides advice for future house managers in a theatre department. It recommends finding a balance between relying on existing support systems, like the student office worker and past house managers, and taking one's own initiative to define the house manager role. It suggests introducing oneself early to the stage management, directing, and dramaturgy teams. Example questions are provided to ask each team, such as whether there will be an intermission and how long, how to notify stage management when the house is closed, and details about any lobby display.

    ADVICE
    Holly Houck
    As for advice for future house managers, I recommend finding a balance between leaning on your
    support system in the theatre department and taking initiative to pave your own way as a house
    manager. Tommy, Kelly, and the student office worker have all worked closely with past house
    managers if you ever have questions about your role or the timeline of tasks that must be completed.
    In addition to these folks, you will want to introduce yourself to the stage management, direction, and
    dramaturg teams early in your process. Questions I have found helpful to ask these teams:

    To the director: will there be an intermission? If so, how long?

    To stage management: how would you like me to notify you that the house is closed for the start of
    show, and after the intermission if there is one?

    To dramaturgy: will there be a lobby display? What will it consist of, and will the dramaturg be
    present to monitor it?
