Nihan Baysal
@nihanbaysal
I coordinate theater productions, rehearsals, and technical execution across Chicagoland venues.
What I'm looking for
I've supported productions at The Wirtz Center, Theo Ubique, Rivendell Theater Ensemble, Momentary Theater, and The Goodman, coordinating rehearsals and meetings around directors', cast, and crew schedules.
As a stage manager, I track script changes, actor movements, and designs, then communicate updates across the production team. I also write and distribute rehearsal reports, production meeting notes, and design meeting notes.
Alongside stage management, I work as a freelance carpenter/electrician, supporting shop management, scenic construction, lighting preparation, fixture hanging and focusing, inventory, and build planning.
