Stage Management Apprentice (ASM) Responsibilities:

- Performed typical stage management duties during rehearsals; such as taping out the indoor rehearsal room / flag marking the outdoor space, being on book, and props tracking

- Ran the deck during shows, including organizing/setting props and helping with fake blood appliances

- Created a preshow with acting and directing apprentices, where I organized the script, managed rehearsals, and timed performances

-Since the show was outdoors, I had to be prepared at any moment to collect all the props that were set around the park in case it started downpouring
