- Unidentified stage manager

A stage manager was a magical construct manifesting Willow Rosenberg's fears.

History
In 1997, as residents of Sunnydale had their nightmares come to life, this stage manager abruptly took Willow backstage to prepare her to a production of Madame Butterfly. As she was paralyzed with her, the stage manager pushed her through the curtains, where she was to sing to the audience beside Aldo Gianfranco.

Willow's stage fear had also manifested in a real school talent show, in which she ran away before saying her lines in Oedipus Rex. In another nightmare, she was to participate of Death of a Salesman for a drama class without any previous study.
