ABOUT ME
Hello! My name is Anna Collins (she/her/hers), and I am a Stage Manager currently based in Tallahassee, Florida.
​
Born and raised in Fort Myers, Florida, my love for theatre sparked early, specifically during a summer camp production of Annie Jr., where, after not being cast as Sandy the dog, I decided my character instead needed to be a stray on the streets. That moment taught me the value of adaptability, a trait that has guided me ever since.
​
As I grew within my local theatre community, I found myself drawn to every aspect of production. I began volunteering backstage at a local conservatory program, where I quickly fell in love with the technical side of storytelling and discovered my passion for Stage Management.
​
I am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre at Florida State University, specializing in Stage Management and Design & Production.
