Alexa Danahy -Stage Manager & Artist Hospitalty

Kansas City

Summary

Experienced Stage Manager, creative, and student working towards a degree in Entertainment Management. Skilled in artist relations, BOH management, live audio, and ministry work! With a deep understanding of 'experience flow' and how to execute that with logistics/operations, I am seeking a production internship to further develop my expertise and contribute to a dynamic team. I am a lifelong learner who is optimistic, energetic, and eager to step into the behind-the-scenes work that brings productions to life. With a diplomatic mind and a love for fostering natural human connections, I'm also actively seeking an assistant role in talent/venue booking to further expand my knowledge of contracts, negotiating deals, and artist representation. Someday I hope to act as the bridge between art and business.
