A LITTLE ABOUT ME
Hi, I’m Shawna.
Corporate Show Caller AEA Stage Manager Production Specialist
Los Angeles–based and available nationwide, I call corporate events and stage manage complex productions with a technical eye, a steady hand, and an understanding of what both the crew and the client need.
I’m big on preparation, clear communication, and giving people the room to do what they do best. I also think a little humor goes a long way.
What I Do
A little bit of both worlds.
My work moves between live events and theatre. Different rooms, different kinds of productions, but the same goal: making sure the people doing the work have what they need.
Live Event Show Calling
Corporate events, conferences, premieres, and live productions. A clear run of show, good communication, and everyone knowing what comes next.
AEA Stage Management
Musicals, regional theatre, readings, and new work. Keeping the room organized, collaborative, and ready for whatever the process brings.
How I Work
Prepared, but never precious about the plan.
I started in technical theatre, so I’m just as interested in what the operators need as what a show looks like from the audience.
I like a room where people feel comfortable asking questions and doing their jobs. When things change, we figure it out together. Ideally with a little laughter in the mix.
In good company.
