The “Advice to a new Baron and
Baroness” thread got me to thinking. There is a  theatre analogy that
might serve us well here. For the actors to perform well night after night you
need a good stage manager to take care of them. For the B&B to perform well
event after event they need a good entourage. I pulled the following list off
the internet (just look up “stage manager’s kit” for a more comprehensive list)
pared it down to the basics, and added equipment and supplies for the SCA. 

 

For those gentles who will be
ladies- or lords-in-waiting here is a useful list that will help your B&B be
at their best.
