STAGE MANAGER
Heyo, how do you do?! I’m Andrew M. Garcia, a storyteller of 21 years and a wearer of many hats(primarily big brim) whose goal is to be the best integrated theatrical artist I can be for myself and my peers. Maybe the next “George M. Cohan.” I originally found my love for pencil drawing growing up in El Monte, CA and soon enough, my interests turned into performance art once landing at California School of the Arts in Duarte. After, I pursued musical theater in college for 2 years, and since then, has expanded my horizons. From concert performance, to film acting to script supervision + coverage & analysis, I LOVE to do lots. After stage managing a production at CSArts, he’s continued to find himself picking up more SM opportunities including locations such as LACS, Second Stage Theater, Theater 68, and officially landing at RTC. I couldn’t have gone as far as I could’ve without my parents 🙂
