At the U of U, I worked with Halee Rasmussen and Amber Beilinski as the Assistant Production Manager for the 5th Show fo the Season, As You Like It. This meant I ran all Design Meetings as well as the Production Meetings During the Tech Process, Coordinated the creation of Playbills, Reserved Spaces, Checked-In with the Student Designers, and worked closely with the Marketing Department.

When Rosalind and Orlando meet, it’s love at first sight, which is fortunate—that’s really all they have time for. Soon after, Rosalind is banished from court on pain of death; meanwhile, Orlando returns home only to find his own life in danger.
Adopting the name "Ganymede" and disguising herself as a man for safety’s sake, Rosalind flees to the forest of Arden with Celia, her loyal cousin, and Touchstone, the court jester. To her delight, Rosalind learns that Orlando has also taken refuge in Arden, and that he is smitten with her as well. But Rosalind isn’t ready to drop her disguise just yet; she has a plan, and it won’t work without Ganymede’s help.
Featuring some of the Bard’s wittiest characters and most memorable turns of phrase, AS YOU LIKE IT is a classic pastoral comedy as well as a hilarious, thoughtful examination of the roles people play in life and in love. "All the world's a stage," indeed.
Working as a Work Study Student allowed me to opportunities to build and work as the House Manager for many productions. Wherein I was required to create a Front of House Report and Facilitate communication with the Stage Manager for the performance.
As a Work Study Student, I worked with our Production Manager to plan out the upcoming season, including Marketing, Rehearsals, and the Design Process. This includes building the overall production calendar to be followed by all in the department.
In the U's Advanced Production Management, I was grouped with two other students are we were charged with taking 4 shows, a budget, and two specific LORT theatres are designing a schedule and budget breakdown for the entire seasons, with some curveballs along the way. Overall, we were able to take any challenge and in the end were able to determine that with specific runs we could make a profit.
