I am the House Manager for Cortland Repertory Theatre and was furloughed as a result until the theater is able to safely open again for performances. In the meantime, I volunteered my time as a graphic designer, photographer, project planner, and artist and my passion for the arts and collaboration to build an experience for our community while our lives of put on hold.
