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.
When I'm not stage managing, you can usually find me reading, baking, or hanging out with my friends!


I recently worked as an Assistant Stage Manager with the Janiec Opera Company at Brevard Music Center on their productions of Elixir of Love, Cendrillon, and The Magic Flute, directed by Dean Anthony

I'm currently working as the Production Stage Manager for VCUarts Theatre's production of A Chorus Line directed by Nathaniel Shaw.

I'll be graduting in December 2025 and I'm always looking for new opportunities!
