Welcome! I’m Amy Rauchwerger, an AEA Stage Manager living in New York City. Originally from sunny Miami, FL I am currently working on braving the winter temperatures and embracing a change in seasons that allows me to wear all my fun crocheted makes! 

Growing up in the theatre atmosphere shaped my accepting nature and multitasking abilities. Shortly after graduating from Florida State University with my B.A. in Theatre and Creative Writing, I was welcomed into the Zoetic Stage Family. Zoetic Stage, an AEA company housed in the Adrienne Arsht Center for Performing Arts where I spent most of my twenties alongside fabulous theatre makers creating throughout provoking theatre under the artistic direction of Stuart Meltzer. I worked alongside Zoetic as their Resident Stage Manager and Company Manager for many years, not only shaping the company but also shaping my own management practices. While stationed in Miami, FL I had the honor to work at various theatres across South Florida such as: Zoetic Stage, Gablestage, City Theatre, SMDCAC, The Wick, and The Broward Center for the Performing Arts. There are incredible projects I have had a hand in shaping from an organization standpoint such as Overnight Theatre Project with Theatre Lab, and large scale award ceremonies such as The Carbonell Awards. In 2016 I accepted a position as Production Coordinator at the South Dade Cultural Arts Center. I spent two wonderful years there with a fantastic team as we presented and produced theatre, music, and dance specifically for the community the center serves. 

In 2020 I embarked on my next adventure. I was craving further knowledge of my field, and was ready for a change of pace. After being accepted into Columbia University’s MFA Stage Management Program, I made the move to New York City. Beginning what felt like a whole new career was a challenge, and one I am incredibly proud of. I am now a full time freelance stage manager and my work has taken me all over the country, working with exciting theatre makers and collaborators that push my managerial skills constantly! It is as fun as it is rewarding, and I am always excited to see where my path leads next.
