Medora Musical, RWS Global
Calling Stage Manager | Medora, ND | 2024-Present
The Medora Musical performs nightly in a 2,900 seat amphitheater overlooking the Badlands of Medora, North Dakota. This 2 hour production has been running for 60 years and honors the history of the town, the legacy of Theodore Roosevelt, and traditional Western music and heritage. The show is created by RWS Global and produced by the Theodore Roosevelt Medora Foundation.
I have stage managed each stage of the production process to include: a 2 week workshop at the RWS Global headquarters in NYC, all staging rehearsals, tech, previews, cover rehearsals, and regular operations. Due to the unpredictability of performing in an outdoor venue, I have created inclement weather contingency plans outlining modifications to be made in the event of light rain, extreme hot/cold temperatures, wind, and high air quality index. I have successfully managed multiple show holds due to a variety of factors, such as mid-show injuries, technical difficulties, and weather.
