Emily T James

Months before a production launches, there is much to do behind the scenes and Stage Manager Emily James does it with such ease. "Stage management is where everything makes sense, and it is humbling and beautiful to watch a production from conception to performance," says James. She enjoys having a hand in all aspects of coordinating a production - from design meetings to the final performance. In fact, what she loves best about acting ... "There really isn't anything better than seeing something created from nothing, and then return to nothing during strike after closing." When she isn't busy managing on stage, James enjoys volunteering with the local Rainbow Girls Assembly, singing jazz and pop tunes on her key board or just catching up with family and friends.
