MARIA THERESIA

​
A new musical produced in Vienna, starting rehearsals August 2025, with me in the lead of our team of callers.
DAS PHANTOM DER OPER
VEREINIGTE BÜHNEN WIEN
Show Caller
January 2024 - ongoing
Director: Laurence Connor/Seth Sklar-Heyn
​​
Favourit memory: Calling the first run from the auditorium, feeling the intense pressure and stress, but at the same time absolutely vibing to the whole experience. One of the most stressful but exhilarating moments ever - and I've jumped out of planes.​​

ROCK ME AMADEUS
VEREINIGTE BÜHNEN WIEN
Show Caller
September 2023 - June 2025
​Director: Andreas Gergen
Favourit memory: Being thrown into the last three weeks of rehearsals, knowing nothing and no one, and ending up calling the first week of the show after opening, as my colleague got sick.
Also; one performer always stopping by during the show trying to make me laugh while cueing, parading around with a stuffed chicken or a broom or whatever he can spontaneously find in the vincinity - you never know what you'll get.

ALICE BY HEART
GUILDFORD SCHOOL OF ACTING
Stage Manager
February 2025 - March 2025
​Director: Marcus Bazley
Favourit memory: I made the tablecloth for the mad hatter's teaparty from scratch, glueing and sewing teacups onto the fabric, adding four tiny weights and cleaning up all the edges. I had no idea if it was going to work in the scene, but it turned up being brilliant and just the right thing for the scene! Some maintenance work was required to keep the teacups on during the shows, but that was a small price to pay for a perfectly falling tablecloth. Seeing as I have little to no experience in prop making, this was a huge feat!
BA AM SHOWCASE
GUILDFORD SCHOOL OF ACTING
Stage Manager
January 2025 - February 2025
​Director: Niall Bailey
Favourit memory: Probably filming week, as this was when everything came together so neatley and we could see what we had worked on the past four weeks. The lights were gorgeous, the spirits were (mostly) high, and the time schedule worked out beautifully.
ELISABETH in concert
VEREINIGTE BÜHNEN WIEN
Stage Manager
June/July 2022, 2023, 2024
​Director: Gil Mehmert
Favourit memory: Operating the pyro from the high tower aaaaallll the way at the back was amazing, and made up for long and extremely hot days - plus, seeing the gorgeous Schönbrunn palace lit up during the second act, when it finally got dark...? Breathtaking.
REBECCA
VEREINIGTE BÜHNEN WIEN
Show Caller
May 2023 - January 2024
​Director: Francesca Zambello
Favourit memory: This was my first big show and proper introduction to show calling, so it will always have a special place in my heart. My favourit memory must be calling my first full show on my own and the amazing team backstage, who were the most encouraging people ever.
Also, calling the flames during the end of act 2 was probably the coolest (and scariest) thing every night.
VARIOUS PRODUCTIONS
LANDESTHEATER NIEDERBAYERN
Assistant Director
2018 - 2023
​Directors: Stefan Tilch, Stephen Medcalf, Roland Schwab
​
Favourit memory: There are so many, if I am honest. But the one I'll forever remember, is the one performance of Wagner's Götterdämmerung in Straubing, where I - very short notice - went on stage as Brünnhilde, while the amazing Dara Hobbs sang from the side. As I didn't have any contact lenses with me, I was pretty blind during those five hours, which was probably a blessing in disguise. Still, there's a lovely article about that one performance, and I have absolutely not framed it and put it up at home.

Plotting time. Everything on this show was immaculately cute and heart-warming. A production by Landestheater Niederbayern, Set Design Charles Cusick Smith and Philip Ronald Daniels.
Due to the size of the orchestra and the small size of the orchestra pit in the traditional theatre in Passau, the performances were moved into an empty event space. This, obviously, had its own challenges.
