Olivia Millwood (she/her) is currently based in Milwaukee, WI as the Assistant Stage Manager at Milwaukee Ballet. In addition, she is also a freelance theatrical stage manager alongside her work in dance stage management. She was introduced to performance through extensive dance training, and transferred that passion from on-stage to off-stage. Using her previous experience in performance, Olivia brings a unique perspective into her backstage work. In the past few years, she has had the opportunity to stage manage various productions, stretching from musicals such as Urinetown to plays such as Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) [revised] [again], Every Brilliant Thing, and A Streetcar Named Desire. Her favorite aspect of theatre is the collaboration amongst the plethora of creatives coming together to achieve one goal, and in no shortage of reasons is it one of the most important pieces of stage management. She proudly holds a BA in Theatre from The University of the South, Sewanee.
