Stage Manager

Many of them remain behind the scenes.

One of my favorites happens at curtain call.

You may have noticed: after bowing to you, the actors raise their hands towards the booth.
They draw your attention to the invisible person who has been orchestrating every cue—moving the story from moment to moment.

At the Ring, the board operator is also the Stage Manager—quite literally the anchor of the company, the keeper of the production.]

But that gesture reaches further than that.
It calls in the director and the designers—the artists who shaped what you just experienced and quietly stepped away on opening night.
It says we made it together tonight.

From my Ring-shaped heart,

Margherita

This is Deya Ozburn. Two hours before a performance of Enid’s Mill—she stepped in for an actor who had suddenly fallen ill.
She went on with script in hand. Brave. Memorable.
