a hands-on approach to Assistant Directing
For Theatre Lab’s production of Mirrors, I acted as Assistant Director and Stage Manager.
I was introduced to Mirrors when a friend invited me to a closed reading of the play as a dramaturg. After connecting with Nathan, Kaitlin, and the KC Public team, they asked me to come on board for the production.
Throughout the production process, I offered support in devised movement assistant directing, ensured union standards were upheld, managed the calendar, kept rehearsal reports, called the show, and ran the sound board, among other needed jobs as they came up.
audience reviews
“If you’re not doing anything tonight you have an obligation and responsibility to see this important piece of work. Admission is free and Saturday night there was literally nowhere to sit or stand once the first line was spoken. Get out there and be eyes and ears to the rest of the world via the radical open door policy that KC Public Theatre has been championing since its inception. Be a part of something.”
-Derek T.
“SEE. THIS. SHOW. Not only is it free, not only is it written and starring a KC-native… but it is engaging, heart-wrenching, and inspirational theatre. You will feel the struggles of the characters. You will be entertained by the presentation style. You will walk away with a sense of both thrill and enlightenment.”
-Brian D.
“It was a joy to be in the room with this vibrant group and this story. Laughter and tears, side by side.”
-Erdin S.
“I was able to see this incredible play on Saturday night. It has one more performance this evening. And all Kansas City Public Theatre shows are FREE! Go support local, accessible theatre!”
