I'm a professional stage manager, lighting designer, surtitle designer, technician, and miscellaneous theatre-maker. I work in English, French, and Spanish (level C1). As a stage manager, I have experience working on shows for young audiences (babies, kids, teens), clown shows, shows with puppets, object theatre, shows with live music, musical theatre, ambulatory shows, and touring shows, including outdoor and school tours. I am an experienced technician and developing my skillset as a technical director for productions. As a queer, trans, and disabled artist, I am passionate about bringing marginalized stories to the stage and creating safer, more inclusive, and more accessible creative spaces.
I'm always interested in new projects! If you'd like to work with me or learn more about what I do, contact me at emilypayeur@gmail.com.
I create original works with my collaborator Hannah Amerinejad under the name Charcoal Theatre.
