Hello everyone!
My name is Amy and I'm an early career stage manager. I began working as an SM in college, dove right into a full-scale production of Godspell first crack out of the barrel as a mid-term project for a stage management class and never looked back. I worked steadily through the remainder of my college career on large scale musicals. Additionally, I was an SM for two summer children's theater productions and had my first professional summer stock experience working as an ASM. After college, I completed a Stage Management internship at the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis and stayed on as a child supervisor for several months. At the conclusion of my internship, I moved back home and was able to stage manage a university production of The Glass Menagerie followed quickly by a community theater position where I worked as an SM on three consecutive shows in a three week period (one full-scale musical, one musical review and a one woman one act). My next adventure will be working as an ASM at The Lost Colony starting in early May.
I'm hoping to use SMNetwork as a tool for making connections and gleaning as much knowledge as I can from the many forums. It's my goal to spend some time traveling across the country from theater to theater to learn as much as I can from as many different sources as possible before settling down at a regional theater I can call home. Thank you for your time and I'm excited to see what comes of this!
