Theron Wineinger is a scenic designer, experiential designer, and art director for theatre, opera and dance.

Starring Role Katie Trumbull:Moving to NYC and the commitment it takes to chase a dream. It’s hard to believe that just a couple of short years ago, Katie was leaving Toledo, Ohio—fresh out BGSU—without a clue about what would come next. The only thing she did know was that she had to give it a shot. So, with a heart full of dreams and a suitcase full of hope, she packed up and moved to New York City to break into the world of theater.

A Production Manager works with the  management team, technical crew and Designers to make sure the technical  elements of a show are completed safely, on time and on budget.  Production Managers work on a variety of different shows for a theatre  season.

Although similar, there is a difference between a Production Manager and a Stage Manager. A Stage Manager liaises with different departments throughout the day  and make sure everything is running smoothly, whereas a Production  Manager liaises with different departments to ensure decisions being  made are within budgets and everything is working safely.

Interlochen Arts Camp: There's an internationally recognized art camp just a few hours away from Toledo. Stage Door was lucky to have a former camper and her mom on the show to talk about the entire experience. What they loved, and what you can expect if you decide to send your child.
