Vail Dance Festival 2023

Assistant Stage Manager | Summer 2023 | Vail, CO

Production Stage Managed by Betsy Ayer | Artistic Director Damian Woetzel

I was very excited to return to beautiful Vail, Colorado for the summer of 2023, where I filled a position on the mainstage amphitheater’s stage management team. Instead of 2022 where I oversaw all rehearsals in one of the festival’s outdoor rehearsal studios, this year I served as the primary stage manager for the pit, as well as a floater throughout the stage. Every day was spent teching a new show with guest companies before performing their program that night, and doing it again the next day! It is a whirlwind of a festival filled with so many amazing people.
