    • Warehouse Theatre Company

      May 2019 - Dec 2020
      Production Stage Manager

      The Warehouse Theatre is a student-run theatre company located on the Stephens College campus. Completely student-funded and operated, students perform 4 shows a semester, dedicated to fostering freedom of material and vision by producing original scripts, avant-garde pieces, and socially poignant works which, more often than not, highlight women’s issues and experiences.As the production stage manager, I was directly involved in each performance as a guide and mentor to novice stage managers. Acting as an executive board member, I created workflows and paperwork, ran efficient and safe strikes alongside the technical director, and oversaw rehearsals, tech week, and all performances. When needed, I would step into the role of stage manager or assistant stage manager, and occasionally served as a sound designer. Show less
