BUILDING COMMUNITY

One of the challenges of OUR TOWN was the large cast size and the wide range of experience--from first year students in their first mainstage show to seasoned seniors. My goal as Stage Manager was to cultivate a safe and positive community in the rehearsal room, by incorporating humor and fun into business and building relationships with the cast and crew.

BY THE NUMBERS

Collaborated with 2 assistant stage managers to manage a cast of 23 for 90+ total rehearsal hours.

Acted as communication liaison between 53 actors, designers, crew, and production team members.

​

Ensured smooth performances for a total audience viewership of 937, including expanded in-the-round onstage seating, across 8 performance dates.

MAKING OUR TOWN ACCESSIBLE

OUR TOWN was also the first production to implement open captioning, which I led as part of my arts accessibility research. Read more about my research here:
