During the spring of 2019, Grace acted as one of two assistant stage managers for UWL's production of The Country Wife. This is one of Grace's favorite shows she's worked on, due to the 1970's Glam Rock aesthetic applied to the period dialogue. Grace was in charge of costumes and props for the majority of rehearsals, but took over scenic and shift crew on opening night, due to a medical emergency with the other ASM. This was particularly difficult as the set was made up of concentric turntables (on which all entrances and exits were made) which was manually operated along with manually operated sliding doors.
Grace received a Certificate of Excellence in Stage Management from the American College Theatre Festival for this production.
