Terminating tom
Served as Stage Manager for Terminating Tom, a production centered on a robot who falls in love with a human, exploring the question of sentience and what it means to feel and connect. The role involved coordinating a show that balanced philosophical themes with a clear emotional throughline, ensuring that pacing and technical elements supported both the central relationship and the evolving tension around the robot’s humanity.
Working closely with the director and creative team, the process focused on maintaining consistency in tone as the story moved between moments of curiosity, conflict, and ultimately a hopeful resolution. Managing rehearsals and calling the show required strong organization and attention to detail, helping to create a seamless production that supported the story’s central question while delivering a grounded and satisfying ending.
