Abstract
The stage manager’s report is an archival document in Polish theatre, initially created to track the absences and delays of the team working on a performance. However, it offers more than a mere staff attendance list. The report contains the author’s notes throughout the entire production process. By analysing reports from 1972–1982 and comparing them with contemporary reports from 2021–2024 from several public theatres in Warsaw, I will show how a report is a valuable resource for further research, providing insights into the institution where a particular production occurred and the socio-political conditions of its time. I consider my research as a contribution to further and more extensive considerations of the potential of the stage manager’s report as a source material for theatre researchers.
