Stage Manager

Hi! My name is Annika E. Smith (pronounced like Veronica without the "Ver"). I was born and raised in Charlotte, North Carolina and am currently a senior at Virginia Commonwealth University pursuing a BFA in Theatre with a concentration in Stage Management. I found a love for theatre at a young age and was lucky enough to have it rekindled during high school.
I recently worked as the Production Stage Manager on VCU SALT's student run production of The Bacchae directed by Chloe Augusta and Benjamin Strassler
I'm currently working as an Assistant Stage Manager with Janiec Opera Company at Brevard Music Center on their productions of Elixir of Love, Cendrillon, and The Magic Flute.
In the fall of 2025, I will be the Production Stage Manager for VCUarts Theatre's production of A Chorus Line directed by Nathaniel Shaw
