About me
Hello!! I’m Ruth! Originally from the beautiful island of Ireland and enjoying working all over the U.K. in the world of theatre as a DSM or ASM/BC.Thank you for checking out my profile!
I am First Aid Trained. I have completed my Coronavirus Awareness on Production Training Certificate.
Due to many years of singing and instrument playing, I am competent in score reading.
I confidently can call to music, so competently able to work on musicals, ballet and dance pieces, opera as well as pantomimes and plays.
I am a Deputy Stage Manager, Assistant Stage Manager/ Book Cover and at times a Stage Manager.

I spent 16 months working in television as a Production Floor Manager and also completed a 6 month contract on a Royal Caribbean ship.
I hold a BA Hons in Musical Theatre and Technical Theatre (2:1). With a Joint Honours Degree and having worked with a wide range of people, I have the ability to network on a personal level with those in technical and management as well as with those onstage, as I have had 16 years of performance experience.
I have the ability to problem solve, use my initiative and think on my feet. Having been commended for my Stage Management and organisational skills, I feel I remain calm under pressure and secretly enjoy having to be extremely prepared.

Additional skills:
I have various grades in a number of instruments including piano, flute and violin. I have also qualifications which enable me to teach both classical and Musical Theatre singing, as well as Stage Acting Technique.
I have worked with Theatre Greats such as Andrew Lloyd Webber, Willy Russell, and Cameron Mackintosh. With each production I have been involved in, I have learnt something valuable to bring with me to my next contract.
I read score to a high standard; I sing, play various woodwind instruments, as well as piano, gaining many grades in these instruments.
I am very much a team player and can work well within a group as I have been a member of many societies over the years, including a world champion dance troop, choirs, orchestras, drama societies and sports teams. I am confident when working in a group; however, I’m able to work on my own initiative. I have no issues taking the lead within the group when necessary. I am a punctual, organised and a well- structured person with an eye for detail and a professional manner, able to co-ordinate and manage the successful running of any programme. I am polite, considerate and consistent in everything I do, completing each task to the highest standard, genuinely caring about the finished product, whatever that may be.

Additional information:
I love to travel, see new countries and meet new people. I love to learn about new cultures and have been lucky enough to visit a lot of beautiful places. I took three months to explore Europe and worked onboard a Royal Caribbean ship to give me an incredible opportunity to wake each morning in a new city or country!
I am first aid trained, stronger than I look, have a love of Lego and jigsaws and make a great cup of tea!
