In \"Part 1: Work,\" the contributors share a wide range of experiences, from regional theatre and Broadway to operas and cruises-and even running with the circus. The essays in \"Part 2: Life\" explore the relevance of stage managers claiming their identity, their resilience, and practicing self-care. Finally, in \"Part 3: Career,\" readers receive aspirational and business advice for life in the real world: leadership, networking, unemployment, managing demanding calendars, and career planning. The book ends with a moment of pause during tech-a direct response to the absence we have been enduring throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and a tribute to a world we used to take for granted. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntertwining practical advice with personal anecdotes, \u003cem\u003eOff Headset\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e: Essays on Stage Management Work, Life, and Career\u003c\/em\u003e is the perfect accompaniment to students studying stage management in a university setting and professionals working in the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRafael Jaen\u003c\/strong\u003e (sounds HA-EN), Associate Professor of Theatre and Performing Arts Chair, UMass Boston.
