Highlights

Ran high-pressure shows

Ran the stage on long-running and high-pressure productions. Keeping a demanding show running cleanly night after night, with hundreds of cues and many people, is exactly the steady control a stage manager exists to provide.

The hub the company relies on

Trusted by directors, cast and crew as the calm, organised hand that holds the production together, relied on to call the show cleanly and to handle whatever goes wrong without the audience ever knowing.

Kept the show on through emergencies

Kept performances on track through cast changes and technical emergencies without the audience noticing. Handling a crisis mid-show so the audience never sees it is the truest test of a stage manager's nerve and skill.
