Abstract

This community service activity aims to strengthen the understanding and skills of students in the Indonesian Language Education Study Program, Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, Malikussaleh University, in stage management at the Literary Festival. The problem faced is the limited ability of students to plan, coordinate, and implement stage management for literary activities systematically and professionally. The implementation method of the activity includes counseling, practical training, and discussion and question-and-answer sessions. The counseling was conducted to provide a conceptual understanding of stage management, while the training focused on simulations and direct practice of stage management for the Literary Festival. The results of the activity showed an increase in students' understanding and skills in compiling event rundowns, dividing committee tasks, organizing the flow of the performance, and coordinating between committee members. This activity also had a positive impact on the development of students' attitudes of responsibility, cooperation, and professionalism. Thus, this community service activity contributed to improving the quality of the Literary Festival implementation and supported the achievement of student competencies in accordance with the objectives of Tri Dharma of Higher Education.
