About me
Theatre holds a special place in my heart. When I was very young, I wanted to be an actor. My interest in stage management grew as I saw my first two professional Broadway shows Matilda and Wicked from that point on, I was fascinated by the behind the scenes work of what it takes to create professional looking show. This is what inspired me to pursue a career in backstage theatre and to join the Stage Management and Technical Theatre course at Newcastle College.Referees:
