The Stage Manager is a memorable character for his versatility and omnipresence because he is able to provide the audience and readers with all the information they need, and as well acts as a trustworthy guide throughout the play.

Explanation:

The Stage Manager reminds many reader about the Greek Chorus, who often provide commentary on the action and the characters in ancient Greek drama.

The Stage Manager acts as a narrator who often provides local color for the audience and he also manipulates time,

as in Act One-"We're going to look back on it from the future."

Furthermore, he is the voice of Mrs. Forrest, and he plays the roles of the drug store owner as all as the minister who performs George and Emily's marriage ceremony.

He is virtually omnipresent, and he went ahead to speaks directly to Emily at her burial site in which he often acts as a liaison between the characters and the audience.
