About me
The world of theatre has always called to me. I am drawn to working with likewise creative minds who collaborate to bring life out of mere ideas. I have dabbled in a bit of everything: acting, lighting, costuming, scenery, directing -- and have found stage management to be my true calling. As a stage manager I love being a linchpin that holds the production elements together. I strive to create a supporting environment that fosters artistic ideas for directors, actors, and designers. The elimination of the phrases ‘no’ and ‘it is impossible’ from my vocabulary encourages others to dream and what was once impossible becomes magical. In turn, I too learn to dream and create magic in my own life. I appreciate the magic of details, from a scuffed stage after hours of dance practice to the sound of drills working well through lunch. I experience a show from its birth, nurturing and supporting it as it grows and takes on a life of its own. I mother its temper-tantrums, celebrate its success, and then mourn its death. The magic of theatre is in its fleeting moments. Each performance is for one-night only, regardless of its run time. Each story is forever changing but yet, it is remembered for longer than the moments it lives onstage. Why? because the magic of theatre is in the collaboration of community. Wonder is found in our histories, in our music, in our politics, and in our faith, to name a few. All elements of life and all peoples on this earth offer a part of themselves to share and to create the stories of the stage and it is life that draws us to the the theatre time and again.Additional skills:
Excellent organizational & scheduling skills. Can operate light & sound boards, simultaneously. Basic understanding of Q-Lab. Reads music. Proficient use of MS office, excel, powerpoint. Basic understanding of weaponry & fire. Experience with fake blood. Basic carpentry, painting, electrician skills. Propsmithery experience. Child care experience for 8+ years.
