...to expose those ruthless manipulators, those secretive organisers and inventors of relentlessly reliable systems turning artistic chaos into viable shows, those fiendishly clever puppet masters, also known under the innocuous-sounding alias of 'stage manager', to the glare of the limelight at last.
You may find them hiding in your prompt corner or in their power HQ, cunningly disguised as a 'stage management office' or anywhere in the murky underworld often referred to simply as 'backstage' where they frequently go almost unnoticed in their bland black uniform.
In fact, these are dangerously brilliant individuals and teams, the true power behind British theatre and unless YOU drag them screaming from their hideouts, how will any of us know who to avoid like the plague if we want our show to fail?
Quite simply, the future of showbusiness is in your hands - name and shame them NOW for a 2010 National Stage Management Award.
Contact the Stage Management Association urgently on 020-7403 7999 or admin@stagemanagementassociation.co.uk.
You may save shows.
