About Yard Stage Journal

Small stages. Shared work. Room for a story.

YARD STAGE JOURNAL

Yard Stage Journal is a new publication about the practical work of small theatre: rehearsal rooms, backstage records, scenic choices and welcoming an audience. We write for people making performances with care and limited space.

The publication does not operate or represent the former Brooklyn Yard venue, sell tickets to its past productions or claim to continue that organisation.

Technical and venue-specific work belongs to the qualified people responsible for each production; our articles focus on planning and communication.

About the reviewer

Derek Coleman

Derek has always been more interested in what happens behind the curtain than in taking a bow. Scenery workshops, prop storage rooms, lighting inventories, and the organized chaos of a production load-out are central to his fascination with theatre. His approach combines respect for creative experimentation with an understanding that every ambitious stage idea eventually needs a workable floor plan.
