Served as Stage Manager for Wiener Beacon by Alexa Laliberté, a highly stylized production that blends surreal comedy with emotional storytelling. The role involved coordinating complex technical elements, including fast-paced transitions, ensemble-driven movement, and abstract sequences such as recurring snowstorms and heightened character moments. Calling the show required precise timing to support shifts in tone, ensuring both the comedic rhythm and more grounded, emotional beats landed effectively.

Through close collaboration with the director and creative team, the process emphasized clear communication, adaptability, and strong leadership in both rehearsal and performance settings. This experience strengthened skills in cue calling, organization, and managing a dynamic production environment, while reinforcing the importance of stage management in bringing together technical and performance elements into a cohesive final product.
