Caledonia was the kid growing up who made their own costumes, props, and was constantly building whether it was forts out of cardboard or clay models of her favorite cartoon worlds. The odd hobbies she had as a child grew to be her biggest assets as an adult; using them to design, construct, and decorate sets for film and television. She is no stranger to working as a production designer, art director, prop builder, construction coordinator, and graphic designer in her ten year career in the film industry.  

Caledonia studied and graduated from the Orange County School of the Arts with a focus in Film and Television, and later graduated from the Los Angeles Film School with a focus in Production Design. She has done a number of short and student films and is branching out with her first feature coming out in the winter of 2020. When she’s not busy with film, she can be found volunteering her time helping foster children through Together We Rise and restoring the historic Woodlawn Cemetery in Compton with the non profit One Section at a Time.

Robert is a freelance production stage manager currently working in the Los Angeles and Orange County area. From high school to the professional industry, he has been working nonstop on theatrical productions since 2009. In 2018, Robert graduated from Cal State Long Beach with a B.A. in Technical Theatre (stage management focus). Robert is an excellent collaborator and team player who is extremely motivated and willing to take on challenging assignments. Robert loves being a stage manager because of its unique ability to anticipate and facilitate a production’s needs. Organizing, problem solving, and collaborating with other artists are all perks rather than work that make sure there is never a dull day on the job. Robert has stage managed shows throughout California for companies such as Livermore Shakespeare Festival, The Western Stage, California Repertory Company, and P3 Theatre Company.⁠ ⁠ In his free time, Robert loves to watch movies in the cinema, hike, go camping, or spin a vinyl record.

Twins Cynthia Hennon Marino and Stacy Hennon Stone host a weekly podcast talking to the people behind the curtains. 

Take a trip backstage to learn what it takes to put on a production: design process, music study and execution, paperwork, meetings, management, unions, and all the excitement backstage that the audience doesn’t get to see.⁠ ⁠
