About Me

Hi.

I’m Jane, and I like to do stuff — whether that’s jumping in last-minute as a stage manager or working behind the scenes as a stagehand. Based in California, for the past 8 years, I’ve built a diverse career in theatrical production, contributing to over 20 shows in roles ranging from dresser to lead designer to production manager. I thrive in fast-paced, high-pressure environments, keeping communication clear, details tight, and the curtain rising right on time.

My sister always told me that when she gets married, she would have me manage and organize her wedding. I’ve always loved planning and organizing — whether it’s a trip with friends, a big event, or a live theatrical performance. I know there are countless moving parts and people in any production, big or small, and I take pride in making sure it all runs smoothly (especially behind the scenes).
