Debuting Artist: Anna Cordova

I grew up in Aurora, Colorado where I started doing theatre in high school. Once I graduated I knew I wanted to do theatre full time and began majoring in it the second I got to CSU. Through CSU, I have worked with a number of stage management teams on multiple plays, musicals, operas, and dance shows. Last year, I took a gap year and moved back home to work on Theatre of the Mind at The Denver Center and Turandot at Opera Colorado as a production assistant within their stage management teams.

I love being outside! I ski very often in the winter and I am usually climbing, camping, or hiking in the summer. When I am not outside, I am usually playing videogames with my partner or crocheting.

Noah Racey! I have had the opportunity to work with Noah for 4 years now and I was super excited to do some more work outside of CSU.

A lot of my job is tracking the backstage movements and onstage scenic changes of the show so typically I make templates for a run sheet and presets for our crew prior to us starting rehearsal and fill it out as the show is blocked. This show has so much to track because of all of the props and quick changes which is one of my favorite challenges. I also do my best to get to know the cast I am working with to ensure that they feel comfortable and safe through the rehearsal and performance process.

My favorite song from the show at the moment is "I Don't Need a Roof". It just pulls at my heartstrings real good as Sandra starts to accept that she is going to be okay without Edward.

Definitely watching the show and the characters grow. I love the way Noah works in setting a skeleton for the show and then just being able to watch the actors lean into that skeleton to build some amazingly detailed scenes with beautiful choices is so rewarding.

That scenic design for sure! Caleb (our technical director) did an amazing job with the design and I have loved facing all of the challenges that it has given us because once we were able to work past them, the result adds such a beautiful element to the show.

I am slated for two more shows for my final year at CSU, the first being the Fall Dance Concert and the second is Paradise Lost! My dream show to work on is definitely Hamilton but ultimately I would love to tour for a while regardless of the show I am doing!
