Hey everyone!
I'm Katie, and I'm new to this forum. I'm in my fifth year of university, studying stage management and lighting design. I'm much more experienced in SM than I am in LD, but I love both too much to choose just one!
I only got to ASM one time before I went on to attempt the job of Stage Manager, but I was really lucky to have great faculty members and fellow SM's rooting for me. My first 'big girl' stage managing experience was Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller. What an experience. There were 13 cast members, and that show is a beast no matter how you spin it. But what a great first experience!
Since, I've Stage Managed 3 more shows and am designing lights for the second time for Frank Galati's John Steinbeck's The Grapes Of Wrath, which is another beast of a show. Bring it on, I say!
Feel free to message me any time, I love talking strategy and organization tactics and swapping horror stories!
Thank you! :)
