Alyssa Olsen

I am responsible for scheduling auditions and rehearsals, producing production-related paperwork (character/costume breakdowns, props lists, sound effects, etc), gathering necessary props, costumes, and set pieces as needed. I also assist with set painting, backstage crew, and stage management. I also work in the Box Office, provide administrative support (phone calls, file and database organization) for all departments of the organization, and assist with processing donations and memberships.

I worked with the Props Master to create or acquire the various props and furniture pieces for each of the Sharon Playhouse's productions for their 2015 season. I also assisted with some set building and scenic painting, light hanging and focus, and worked backstage as a dresser, light board op, spotlight op, and a stagehand.
