This production of The Happiest Man on Earth was a remount of the original production by Barrington Stage Co. in 2023. As the stage management Production Assistant, I functioned as the ASM and was responsible for being on book, documenting updates to the script, and updating a primary copy of the script with changes made throughout the process. Additionally, I ran the deck during performances, overseeing a small but mighty crew of 2 plus myself!
