The Belle of Amherst was one of the simplest yet most wholesome productions I had the honor to work on. Kathleen and Norm were both wonderful Performing Art professors from Ithaca College, New York who came to visit Lebanon, Beirut to share their beautiful piece of art. The Belle of Amherst gave its audience the opportunity to spend an evening with Emily Dickinson, face to face, while she shared her thoughts and poems.

As a production manager, my tasks required me to coordinate between the production team in New York and the venue managers in Lebanon. Moreover, Norm and I achieved thorough communication while he was in Ithaca, which in turn allowed me to fully grasp his vision of the performance space and make sure that everything he envisioned (from light angles, to video projections, to set design, and the performance area's scope) was all prepared by the time he and Kathleen arrived to Beirut. During pre-production, I managed to meticulously create and control the budget finances as well as handle offline and online promotion and ticket sales of the production.
