Typical Positions : Stage Manager / Producer
Owner of Turtle Tail Productions LLC (a Division of Honest Dolphin Holdings LLC)
Member of Actor’s Equity Association as of Aug 2023. After two EMC stints and 20+ years of trying, through multiple name changes (maiden, stage, marriage, transition, Hebrew name, then back to transition name), I was finally accepted into AEA under open access.
What does this mean? This means that I cannot work non-Equity productions as a stage manager or actor unless there is an exemption or it doesn’t follow under Equity jurisdiction.
This experience list is not complete.
I am currently based in Augusta, Georgia. I am willing to travel but my back is restricting my movement which requires me to be careful of the positions I accept. I am also willing to sponsor small events and student productions with in-kind donations of service.
