All Hail the Stage Management!
January 23, 2015
“Places, please. Places, please for the top of Act One.” Every theatre performance starts the same way- the script secretary calling the actors to the stage. Like a ship without a rudder, no production can function without stage management. The Homestead Theatre Department is very fortunate to have one of the best in the business, Lonnae Hickman. Armed with nothing … More All Hail the Stage Management!

Meet the Artist: Sam Ginkel
January 10, 2015
I am the director’s assistant, not an assistant director. It’s a lot of fun, and some of my most treasured memories will come from this job. My favorite part of rehearsals would be giving out the “love letters,” which are letters from Seniors to the members of the cast. My first experience to theatre was … More Meet the Artist: Sam Ginkel
