Nick Shackleford, the Co-artistic Director of the company commented, "When we were first approached by Maddie during the run of Suddenly Last Summer, we were impressed by her proactive, positive, and professional attitude. From our initial interview, we saw a great opportunity to collaborate with her as a stage manager for our next production. We were thrilled with her work on The Glass Menagerie—she was the best stage manager we’d ever had! She had a great rapport with the other artists, outstanding organizational skills, and a curiosity that made her a joy to work with. From our experience with her as a stage manager, we knew she’d be a good fit to help us with the administrative end of productions, too. That’s why we’ve brought her on as our production manager on an ongoing basis!"
