When I auditioned for the Signature in the Schools program
my freshman year I had no idea what a stage managers job was. That year I joined the program as an Assistant
Stage Manager and learned all about the job and its responsibilities. I loved every part of stage management and
felt that it was the best way I could use the skills I have in theatre. Thanks to the Signature in the Schools program I continued to work on
productions and have since decided to pursue a career in stage management in
college. I am now a full blown Stage Manager on my
fourth Signature in the Schools production.
Signature in the Schools has absolutely changed my life in a way I never could have imagined. This unique opportunity has given me a newfound confidence and taught me so many things. From learning information covered in boot camp to different experiences encountered in rehearsals, everyday at Signature presents a new challenge. I have not been treated with this much respect or given this much responsibility anywhere else. The chance to work in a professional environment as a high school student has truly been a blessing in my life. Although this is the last year I am able to participate in the program I know I can look forward to continue working in theatre because I feel Signature has properly prepared me to do so.
Hero Worship performs March 10th and March 17th at 8:00 PM. Tickets are free, but reservations are required. To reserve seats, call 703-820-9771. Reservations are available beginning February 10th.
