Caro Klureza (she/her) is delighted to be stage managing TCSM. The last show she managed was Drums in the Night for the Vassar College Drama Department in 2019, and she’s ready for her live theater hiatus to be over! Caro primarily stage manages, but has dabbled in set design/construction, sound design, and more -- including being the puppeteer for Audrey II in a production of Little Shop of Horrors which was a favorite.
