I am a stage manager and lighting designer living in Seattle! I graduated from Oregon Center for the Arts in 2022 with a BS in Theatre. I’ve been stage managing since 2017. I started as an actress and decided to switch and dedicate my learning about how to be the best SM I can be! At OCA, I learned from stage managers from the Oregon Shakespeare Festival and worked with professional directors. Moving back to Seattle, I have worked at Cornish College of the Arts, ArtsWest, eSe Teatro, and Showtunes Theatre. I participated in the Disney College Program in Orlando back in 2019, working in attractions and on the retired show "Up! A Great Bird Adventure". My day job is at Bellevue Lighting where I started the Seattle Theatre Networking group for all production theatre artists to get a chance to network quarterly! Bellevue Lighting is the latest ETC dealer, as well as Rosco and City Theatrical, making us the place to go for all of your lighting needs! Working here has allowed me to expand my lighting design and rigging knowledge, getting me back to working at Centralia College as a recurring lighting designer, as well as teaching stage management to other schools we work with. I appreciate being a member of the Seattle theatre community and hope to help all theaters in the area.
Thank you for your consideration!

I'm David Elwyn! Actor, Stage Combatant, Fight Choreographer, stuntman, and Dramaturg.

I graduated from Cornish College of the arts where i graduated with a BFA in Acting, which is where i became an Actor Combatant in the Society of American Fight Directors (SAFD) . I am currently working towards Advanced Actor Combatant status, with the ultimate goal of Certified Teacher or Fight Director, then Fight Master. I have had the honor and pleasure of working with some of the most highly trained professionals in the SAFD in honing my craft.

In Fight Direction and Choreography, it's always been my philosophy to keep violence grounded stylistically in the work being done, rooted in martial principles, and adapted to tell the most compelling story possible.

In terms of recent credits, you csn find my work in the feature film "Dragons on the Hill" available on Roku snd Tubi. I recently wrapped the project "Last of the Dragons" for Centerstage Theater, and am currently working on "Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief" for Ballyhoo Theater!

Dialect Coach

When you’re always feeling like you’re catching up, like working as an artist is chaotic, and it just can’t stay together, it’s difficult to move forward intentionally with anything. I take the “mess” of work and organize it for you and your brain, so you can do the work you love and not feel constantly behind. I want to help you find what is most important to you and your business, and let go of the rest - through committing to it, handing it off, or deciding it’s not a priority. We have limited time here to make dreams happen, with a great OBM by your side, it becomes easy to go the distance and reach those dreams.

Admin, Online Business Manager for Actors and Entertainment businesses

My name is Stefania Giron Zuluaga I am a latiné, queer Stage Manager with a passion for collaborating with new artists, bringing integrity to the workplace, building community and working towards anti-racism. Being a Latina immigrant from Bogota, Colombia gives me a unique perspective on the theatre industry and how to promote equity and diversity within the arts industry. I feel that I would be a perfect fit in any theatre environment because I excel in fast paced working environments, am extremely detail oriented and have the ability to work with an array of people within a production team.
One of the most asked questions I receive in my day to day life is “What does a Stage Manager really do?” I typically explain that a Stage Manager is a person of many traits; a facilitator, a leader, a person who can put their logistical brain and creative brain together to lead a team to a successful show run. The Stage Manager helps set the tone of the rehearsal room and helps build the culture that the production team will be working in. Theatre is an extremely vulnerable art form, artists are asked to make bold choices in front of hundreds of people and the Stage Manager helps actors, directors, and designers to feel comfortable creating in said space. As a Stage manager, my priorities are the actors, directors and designers within the room- I always say Stage Management is the art of caring for people.
I have had many experiences and acquired many skills that make me the ideal candidate for these positions. My latest work experience on Quixote Nuevo: The West Coast Tour is a prime example of these skills. This tour was a triple co-production between South Coast Rep, Seattle Rep, and Portland Center Stage. I was hired as the ASM to facilitate the transfer process between the three theaters, specifically for my home theatre, Seattle Rep. I created an in-depth transfer package which included documents and information all production departments would use to adapt the show to their stages. This experience directly correlates with the skills needed to work in repertory because of the ability to focus my energy on multiple projects at once which is crucial for this festival. Furthermore, I am passionate about bringing POC voices to the foreground, thus, Utah Shakespeare Festival’s stance on diversity represents exactly the kind of work I want to continue to do.

Highly collaborative and results-driven professional with a wide array of skills gained via career, live performance, and other projects. Expertise in running high-visibility technical programs at-scale and leading teams without direct managerial oversight. Real-world experience in live and recorded audio and live audio-visual set-up, troubleshooting, and engineering. Advanced networking, PC, and server skills.

Alicia Crowley is a Seattle-based interdisciplinary visual and performing artist. She has a fine arts background with focus on drawing and painting, experience working in theatre both on and off stage, and is a generally crafty, hands-on artisan with a broad range of technical skills.

JANE RYAN DIRECTOR

Originally from the Midwest, I have enjoyed making theatre around Puget Sound since “back in the day.” An experienced director, actor, teaching artist, and playwright, I love collaborating with actors and designers of all ages and skills. My theatre aesthetic includes a love of language, movement, visual art, and music. My theatre values include preparation, listening, being specific, communicating the story, and plenty of physical comedy, if needed! I co-founded one of the Northwest’s first Improv companies, and have appeared on many local stages including SCT, ACT, the Group, Bathhouse, Pioneer Square, and the Empty Space. Throughout my career I have enjoyed teaching for the UW and SCT, as well as many of Seattle’s public and private schools. A few of my favorite professional directing projects include Twelfth Night, Midsummer Night’s Dream, Picasso at the Lapin Agile, Streetcar Named Desire, Crimes of the Heart, and new works for Infinity Box, Studio 4, Seattle Fringe Festival, and Latitude Theatre’s Victorian Christmas Cards.

SAVE THE DATE: I am a company member with Latitude Theatre and am very excited to be directing the northwest premiere of Miss Holmes by Christopher Walsh which opens on August 3, 2024 at the Center Theatre. Thank you, TPS! https://latitudetheatre.org/index.html

I am a emerging, experimental visual artist with a background in theatre. My artistic practice includes: painting, sculpting, drawing, collage, and printmaking.
You can see my artwork at www.jimquatier.com.
I am interested in experimental set design in collaboration with your director's vision. I realize that experimental theatre
is usually on a modest budget. The higher the budget the more possibilities, but sometimes less is more.
An example of this would be the set design for Samuel Beckett's, Waiting for Godot with Alberto Giacometti's iconic skeletal tree.
Just imagine the possibilities and in doing so, I look forward to collaborating with you on your next project.

I’m a recent graduate with a BA in Costume Design & Production from Seattle Pacific University. I have been sewing for almost a decade and when it comes to costuming, I don’t think I’ll ever be done learning about it. I love looking into new techniques and using a wide array of knowledge to tackle complex builds.

I have done lightning design since 5th grade. I am currently in my second year studying technical theater at Seattle Central College, specifically lighting tech.

I have nine years of scrum/agile experience, and am looking for my next scrum master or Agile PM role.

Project Manager

I am a stage manager recently relocated to the Seattle area (March of last year) from Wisconsin. I graduated from Northern Michigan University in 2022 with a BFA in Technical Theatre and Design. I've been stage managing since my sophomore year of high school (going on 8 years now). It went from being my favorite hobby to something I want make a career out of, which I think is pretty amazing. In my years at NMU I learned a lot about what it really means to be a stage manager. I have worked to perfect many skills including collaboration, communication, problem-solving, time management, delegation, and organization just to name a few. My time in school also taught me a lot about the other areas in theatre, which has helped me have a lot of empathy and appreciation for what my fellow artists, technicians and designers do. Since moving to Seattle I have truly fallen in love with the theatre community, and I would love the opportunity to continue working and learning with the theatre professionals in Seattle.

Here is a link to my portfolio: https://www.clairkaminski.com/

I also have experience using gobos and setting up and using uplights and movers. I have some opping experience as well. I'm a hard worker and I'd really love to learn more about lighting and rigging outside of the corporate AV world.

I've got many skills! I have a lot of stage management experience, as well as stage crew experience. I've worked in a lot of areas, and while I don't consider myself an expert in all of them, I can definitely do a good job with instruction! I'm a tech lead at one of my jobs, and the other I am a BSM sub, so yknow got those good good leadership skills as well as experience working with props, communicating with my crew, working with lighting and sound. All that good stuff.

Hello!
My name is Corynn Carignan and I am a non-AEA Stage Manager located in the Seattle area. I graduated from Cornish College of The Arts back in the spring of 2020, and after moving away for the bulk of the pandemic, I have recently relocated full-time back to Seattle to start taking on Stage Management projects!
Since moving back I've been fortunate to have an array of experiences and skill-building opportunities.
In October I finished up my 5th summer as the Stage Manager for Freehold's Engaged Theater Program and led my cast, musicians, and TD through the process of touring with Washington's Department of Corrections. Through this project, I continued building my expertise in guiding people through changing physical environments and laying out clear plans for how we'll safely and successfully get through the show.
In December I had the chance to Stage Manage It's A Wonderful Life with The 14/48 Projects: Theater Anonymous. This project operates on an anonymous mindset where everyone rehearses with the Director and Stage Management individually, and they don't know who their fellow actors are until the moment they're in front of an audience with them. This project in particular was a very formative experience for me because I really became confident in my ability to make quick decisions in an improv environment based on my contextual knowledge of the whole show.
In February I wrapped up my second project with Emerald City Trapeze Arts on Madame Mars' Mystic Society: a two-night variety show spanning from dance to aerial acts, to flying trapeze. This was another project where I had to rely on my ability to make quick in-the-moment decisions in an environment where many outcomes are possible. It also was an environment where I had to get comfortable asking what felt like very basic questions since I had stepped in with very little knowledge of the language of the circus world.
After a couple of months in these very non-traditional environments, I am looking forward to having more opportunities to hone my skills as a PA or ASM in more traditional environments. I would love to chat with you about your needs for staffing for your upcoming season!

I am a theatre maker who moved to Seattle just a little over a year ago! I graduated from MIT with a double major in Computer Science and Theater Arts, where I acted in, light designed, and directed several plays and musicals.

My lighting experience is the most extensive and that's what I've gotten to do in Seattle so far. Last year, I light designed two shows (Theatre 4 and Theater Off Jackson). Currently, I am the assistant lighting designer for Dacha's "The Master & Margarita", and the Lighting Designer for The Shattered Glass Project's "New Works Festival." I'm excited for opportunities to work with more experienced designers so I can keep learning and improving my craft.

My directing experience is limited to working with college-aged students. In school, I directed "The Drowsy Chaperone" musical, "Small Mouth Sounds" by Bess Wohl, and two student written plays. I absolutely loved directing and want to pursue doing it in Seattle.

Hello! Pre-pandemic I was the Lead Stagehand/Busser for Teatro Zinzanni, where I acted as a Stagehand who also supported the restaurant. That meant I helped move large platforms on casters, set par cans and source 4s on spike for aerial acts, and catch mics tossed to the ground for transitions before turning around to clean up broken glass at a moment's notice.

Up until recently, I was the COVID Safety Manager for Seattle Repertory Theatre. I did a variety of things, like organize all the logistics around testing including negotiating price on bulk orders, planning testing cadences around shows rehearsing and playing concurrently, setting testing schedules and communicating them with team leads, and executing simultaneous testing for a large variety of groups. My testing stats include: testing 42 over hires at once, facilitating 500 tests within one week, and organizing testing for Public Works cast of 60+ people daily. I was also responsible for adjusting and executing any changes to that plan if anyone tested positive or was exposed. In my brief tenure at The Rep, the only show I lost to COVID was the closing show of BRUCE.

I am now looking to pivot into Stage Managment. I was an ASM many years ago, and now I'm looking to jump back in and learn current best practices. After handling all of the logistics surrounding COVID Safety, I saw a lot of skills shared with the Stage Managers I worked with and I want to try again. I would be happy to be considered as a PA or ASM.

Please reach out if I can help you implement COVID Safety Practices, assist on deck, or support your Stage Management teams. Thank you for your consideration!

I've done just about every job in a theatre at some point, but I've been working as a sound tech in amateur theatre for two years, and as a sound designer for one.

I'm an art student at the University of Oregon minoring in theater. I've been doing theater and dance since I was a little girl, and have years of experience helping make the costumes that go with it. I'm trained in draping, sewing, crochet, knitting, embroidery, and pattern-making off a draped piece. I'm also a great team player, multitasker, and fast learner. I'm up for whatever you throw at me and I'm always open to listening to corrections. Since I'm still in school, I may not be as experienced, but what I lack in ability I make up for in willingness to learn. I appreciate your consideration.

I am a Junior at the University of Washington majoring in Anthropology. I transferred there from Seattle Central College where I completed their Technical Theatre for Social Justice program in partnership with Intiman Theatre. At Intiman, I learned how to be a stagehand and theatre electrician. I light designed student shows at SCC and now at UW I have technical directed a musical for the musical theatre club. Last summer, I participated in ACT's 3-Day summer stage management intensive and learned more about the skills of being a stage manager and assistant stage manager. (I also took over ACT's Instagram for one of the days of the intensive, sharing behind the scenes content)
I am particularly interested in the crossover between theatre and anthropology and how telling stories is an intrinsic part of the human experience. I have always loved how light affects the performance happening onstage and fundamentally shapes how audiences experience a show. I love the collaborative aspects of theatre and working with a team to put together a show. I look forward to the opportunity to gain more experience working at theaters around Seattle.

My name is Sophia Tuell and I am a freelance stage manager and theatre artist based in Seattle. I have recently returned to work in the theatre arts after a COVID-driven hiatus. I am open to working in stage management, assistant stage management, assistant production management, and makeup design. I graduated from Western Washington University in Fall 2023 with a BA in theatre (production concentration). My past credits are listed in my attached resume, with my most recent work as stage manager for Tenderness by Nelle Tankus at Annex Theatre (February 2024). I have experience working in repertory theatre through Bellingham Theatreworks, in which I simultaneously stage managed two productions as well as ASMing a third during their 2019 Fairhaven Summer Repertory season. I have experience working with child actors through Bellingham Theatreworks, and paired with my past experience as a preschool teacher and nanny, I have confidence in creating safe, comfortable, and productive theatre environments for child actors. I am currently working on a production of The Savannah Sipping Society with Edmonds Driftwood Players, set to open in May 2024.
