House Management
For fall of 2023, I was positioned as one of Ithaca College's House Managers for the Dillingham Centers thrilling productions of The Wolves, Newsies, and X. Between overseeing all operations of the Front of House staff, communicating with patrons, and utilizing management and organizational skills to schedule all ushering staff, this position introduced me to a side of the theatre that I quickly grew to love. Connecting with guests before and after curtain was something I found incredibly meaningful and heartwarming.

Opening Night Reception Coordination
Opening Night Reception Coordination
In spring of 2024, I had the thrill of working as Ithaca College's Center for Theatre & Dance's Opening Night Reception Coordinator with my peer, Viviana Beckford. For Dillingham Center's productions of Le Dernier Sorcier, The Last Days of Judas Iscariot, and Urinetown, we were presented with the challenge of budgeting, planning, and executing an opening night event in a limited amount of time. For each reception, we brainstormed creative ways of decorating the center to match the celebrated production's theme. Working with a capacity of 50-500 guests, this position proved to be a remarkable learning experience and way to try the world of event planning.
Infused with magic and wonder, we prepared an enchanted forest-themed event for our guests following the opening night of Ithaca's opera, Le Dernier Sorcier. Refreshments were surrounded by lush foliage and lighting, and audience members were encouraged to partake in flower crown-making activities as well as customizable goodie bag creations (featuring an array of sage, dried flowers, crystal necklaces, and bottled quartz).
Dark and devilishly themed, our recpetion for The Last Days of Judas Iscariot aimed to capture darker academia aesthetics. Light desserts were served surrounded by dimly lit candelebras and haunting black drapery. An activity table was set out that encouraged guests to write a secret confession or letter (following the play's themes of honesty and confession). Chocolate gold coins and small red gavels served as take-away souvenirs for the evening.
A crime scene erupted at the Dillingham Center on opening night of the college's hit production of Urinetown. The show was a splash in the Ithaca, New York area- with patrons arriving early for every performance in order to join the Wait-List line in hopes of getting tickets. My associate and I gathered yellow toilet paper, lots of police tape, and small bites and beverages in order to transport audiences into the world of Urinetown following the show. This was an incredibly immersive evening for all involved.
