Jennifer Sturch on Stage Management

Jennifer Sturch joined us to talk about her stage management career in the New England area at Trinity Repertory Co (RI), ART (MA), Long Wharf (CT), and Hartford Stage (CT) where she worked with, among others, Tony Kushner ("Homebody/Kabul") and Paula Vogel ("The Long Christmas Ride Home"), both with director Oskar Eustis, (now Artistic Director of the Public Theatre in New York City, where he has been integral to the creation of new works, including Lin-Manuel Miranda's “Hamilton,” among many others).

Jennifer Sturch grew up in a military family. Her father was a chaplain in the Air Force, and she grew up all over the world, including the Netherlands, Taiwan, and myriad places in America. Her love of theatre and music started early in life. She grew up playing piano, guitar, and singing, but landed on theatre as her primary love.

While she pursued acting in college at Wichita State University, she realized her strength lay in her ability to manage, so she pursued a career in stage management. She enjoyed a successful professional career in the New England area at Trinity Repertory Co (RI), ART (MA), Long Wharf (CT), and Hartford Stage (CT) where she worked with, among others, Tony Kushner ("Homebody/Kabul") and Paula Vogel ("The Long Christmas Ride Home"), both with director Oskar Eustis.

Jennifer has been in Texas for the past fourteen years and just moved to Santa Fe, NM, with her wife, Wendy, and their two cats and two dogs. She plans to continue her exploration of art through her photography.
