For her senior capstone, Grace stage managed UWL's spring musical, She Loves Me. This was Grace's first time working on a musical at UWL and she enjoyed learning how UWL's process was different from other theaters she has worked with. Additionally, Easter weekend fell on what is usually the production's first cue to cue rehearsal. Because of this, Grace was tasked with rescheduling and adjusting the tech week schedule. With a cast of 19 and cues on every page, this production was a enjoyable challenge and a great way to end her fourth year at UWL.
Grace was honored to receive a Certificate of Excellence in Stage Management from the American College Theatre Festival for this production.
