The Broadway Stage Management Symposium is a one-of-a-king opportunity for stage managers at all levels, created by stage managers, for stage managers, featuring Broadway stage managers. The presenters share their experience and expertise to benefit our entire community of stage managers across the country and around the globe. As one previous scholarship recipient said…
“Thank you so much… it was extraordinary! I am still in awe about how much I learned in such a short period of time and the amazing people I was able to connect with from all over the country and world.” – Norman Anthony Small
These five scholarships are named in honor of Charlie Blackwell, a highly regarded and beloved BIPOC stage manager whose Broadway credits include Nine, Sunday in the Park with George and Jerome Robbins Broadway. He passed away in 1995 and in 2021 was posthumously honored with a Del Hughes Award for Lifetime Achievement in the Art of Stage Management by the Stage Managers’ Association. The Charlie Blackwell Symposium Scholarships honor his legacy, opening doors to the next great generation of BIPOC stage managers.
“These scholarships are one way the Symposium supports the values of equity, diversity and inclusion in our industry and our profession. We bring together stage managers of all experience levels from many different backgrounds to learn, grow, and connect – together!” – Matthew Stern, BSMS founder
