Favorite show moment: This production was my first opportunity to work in a professional theatre outside of the school environment that I had grown accustomed to. I was shocked at how much faster and how much more efficient everything had become, and how quick I had to adapt to this new environment, new people, and new work ethics & habits. It was a new challenge that I was exited to meet. I am just so very thankful that I had the opportunity to work with and learn so much from the crew and cast of The Wizard of Oz. Working with Shadow [the live dog playing Toto] was a cute added bonus!

Favorite show moment: Doing a final costume check-in on closing night with the actors backstage, it was amazing to be able to reminisce with the performers about how the show had run and how wonderful and rewarding the whole process was.

Favorite show moment: It was a truly unique show to be a part of, as this was the debut of Euripidaristophanize and written by FSPA Dalhousie University alumni Sophie Jacome. As this was my first ever show as an assistant stage manager, everything already felt brand-new, so being able to witness the creation of this production was a magical experience that I won't soon forget. Opening night of this production was teeming with excitement both on and off stage and that feeling you could not replicate anywhere else but in live theatre.
