Stage Technician
Musical Arts Center at Indiana University
Before moving to Florida to study Stage Management at UCF, I worked at the Musical Arts Center at IU as a stage technician. During the production seasons, I assisted in the preparation and execution of live performances, assisting in deck shifts and costume changes. During the off seasons, I constructed set pieces for upcoming operas, ensuring adherence to production schedules and quality standards, and maintained the theater’s deck and fly system, actively participating in environmental, health, and safety responsibilities.
