Olivia Hart
Stage Manager
Holding the whole show together, every night
Stage manager with ten years running theatre productions in London's West End and beyond. Holds the whole show together — running rehearsals, calling the show from the prompt corner, coordinating cast, crew and departments, and keeping a complex production running smoothly and safely night after night. Ran the stage on long-running and high-pressure shows and kept performances on track through cast changes and technical emergencies. Runs rehearsals and the show, calls cues, coordinates cast and crew, manages the running of the production, and keeps it safe. Calm, organised and unflappable. Looking for a stage-management role with a company that knows the show only runs because someone is quietly running it.
