Hi, I’m Marina Prather

I am a passionate and experienced stage manager with experience in new works, plays, and musicals at established professional and university settings.

For me, theatre is an artistic platform in which we can share societal issues, stories of life, love and friendship, and provide the audience an escape from reality through thought-provoking performances.


My Passion for Stage Management

I first got into Stage Managing my freshman year of college when I was asked to ASM an original production through my university - Captain Hook: An Original Musical. This was where I learned my passion for Stage Management, especially New Work Productions. I learned to love the changes that happen in rehearsal to the finalized production we share with everyone on opening night!

That production showed me what it took to be a stage manger under stressful circumstances while keeping calm and collected to lead the cast and crew. From there I continued on to Stage Manage numerous productions at my university and professional theatres across the country. In addition, some of these roles have led me to directing several productions, which is my second passion!

Ultimately, my favorite part of any production is the connections I make with the cast, crew and artistic/production team in addition to seeing the show take form from auditions until closing night. I love being a part of any production by helping to keep everything organized, creating true connections with everyone I work with, and creating a show unlike any other.

I would love to work with you and gain a passion like yours for the production you are preparing for! Please reach out with inquiries through the contact form and I will respond to you the next moment I am available! In the meantime, feel free to review my Linkden and Work Instagram account for a more in-depth resume of my work!
