you're still here
summer 2024
You're Still Here was written and directed by Cori Anne Lammel. I received the wonderful opportunity to work on this show as a professional intern at The Theater Bug located in Nashville, TN.
During this production, they really put to use that I am in a BA Theatre program, as I took on a wide range of responsibilities! I helped collect props from an abandoned school, assisted the stage management team with paperwork, painted and stained set pieces, helped with rigging, cleaned costumes nightly, mic’d the actors, preset the stage for every show, and assisted with wigs. During the performances, I served as the backstage lead and a member of the deck crew, ensuring the show ran smoothly behind the scenes. This experience allowed me to put to practice much of what I learned!

all set pieces that appear to be painted or stained were done by me and the other interns with the supervision of the head painters/carpenters.
