An interview Tamara conducted with professional stage manager Aaron Watson in 2018. Part of the TAMgents Stage Door Diva Series. (Our next episode will be interviews with Aaron from 2022 and 2023, discussing post-covid professional theater)
***********************************************
Show notes from the 2018 episode:
Aaron A. Watson is a Non-Union Stage Manager who is currently
working out of New York City as a Stage Manager for theatre, dance,
and more!
Aaron can currently be seen working on the hit
show Cleopatra at Chelsea Music Hall.
Aaron's work has brought him across all four corners of the United
States in various touring productions, but his heart always brings
him back to his shows in New York, much of which has been new works
and workshops.
Aaron also enjoys photography, fitness, camping, hiking, shopping,
and driving the world crazy with his unique hashtags,
#littlegingerinthebigcity and #littlegingertouringthebigcountry,
which some fail to see is an irony mimicking the Looney Toon's type
cartoons where the "rotund" evil villain was always named "Slim",
making it comical to call his 6'3" self "little".
He hails from the great Pine Tree State of Maine where he both grew
up and went to college. The pine scented air and vast lakes are
some of Aaron's favorite things about Vacationland, and he enjoys
visiting whenever he can.
If you'd like to know more about Aaron, he shares all his hijinks
around the country with the world on his social media!
The Stage Door Diva began as a column in the Coastal Journal in Midcoast Maine. Over time, Tamara Lilly realized she wanted to tell more and more indepth stories, beyond the page. The focus is on Theater folks in Maine and beyond!
