ARCHIVAL PAPERWORK SAMPLES
REPERTORY
The 2025 Festival Season featured three productions rotating over four weeks, with a different show performing each day. As a Stage Operations Intern, one of my responsibilities was to assist the fast-paced nightly changeovers, loading in and striking each production within limited windows. This required demanding speed, precision, and strong teamwork. View the time-lapse of these changes between three different shows!
