Week four of the Performing Arts Industry Series brings us Caskey Hunsader! The first three episodes of this series involved performers that take center stage when it comes to a show. Today, we’re going behind the curtain and talking to an individual that makes everything happen far beyond the curtain rising on opening night.

Caskey Hunsader is a native Midwesterner that went to college for musical theater performance. He came to New York with a job lined up, and it was that job as a production assistant at Radio City Music Hall that allowed our paths to cross many years ago! Caskey’s job as a production assistant in the Christmas Spectacular soon came to a close as it was a seasonal job, and he found himself looking for work. Thanks to his work ethic and having a few connections in the industry, Caskey learned what it was to be a stage manager as he soon took this position in another show. You’ll hear more about the importance of this position and just how much goes into it as Caskey talks us through it all. If you’re in the industry, you know exactly how important this job throughout a contract. If you’re not, well — keep in mind that as with any job, it’s all a team effort, and stage management is part of that team. Enjoy growing on the go with Caskey Hunsader!
