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 on VCUarts Theatre's production of Rhinoceros directed by Dr. Jesse Njus as the Assistant Stage Manager
I'm currently preparing for my role as Production Stage Manager on VCU SALT's student run production of The Bacchae directed by Chloe Agusta and Benjamin Strassler
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
