About me

I am a confident and experienced DSM with experience in Drama, Touring, Musicals, Opera and working with children. I also have a variety of experience in other areas of production including carpentry, prop making/sourcing, basic sewing and operating lighting & sound. I have worked in many different types of venues; from school gyms and church halls in Scotland, to traditional proscenium arch at the Liverpool Playhouse, in the round at the New Vic Theatre in Stoke, to the versatile Octagon Theatre Bolton.

Though I have most experience in Deputy Stage Management, I am confident in my budget and propping skills as in recent years, when I have had a show in performance, I have been heavily involved in preparing for the next production. This has led me to being very comfortable working as part of a team and also at using my own initiative.

I have very good communication and people skills, specifically relating to cast management and dissemination of information to all people and departments involved in any given production. During the New Vic's recent production of Don Giovanni, I was proud that my communication skills helped the team work to the highest of production values, and in part led to Don Giovanni being nominated for TMA Best Musical Production 2008.

Having previously worked in the voluntary sector and in offices, I have very good IT and word processing skills, which I feel are very important in helping me be the most organised and efficient DSM that I can be.
