Behind the scenes, away from the spot light there are countless women and men, making the magic of theatre and live events. Resource Stage Conversations is a series dedicated to giving those professionals a voice.
We get the opportunity to talk to a lot of pretty great people with some interesting jobs here at Horizon Solutions.
We have the privileged to talk to them about the projects they work on and how they got to where they are today.
We thought you might find these people interesting too so we decided that we would record the conversations and post them here for you.
I hope that you enjoy the conversations.
Resource Stage Conversations is a project of Horizon Solutions.
