Sheena LaShay Young

Sheena L. Young is a freelance non-equity stage manager and theater artist based in New York, NY. Sheena's most recent project was working as the Production Stage Manager of the US Premiere of the Empress of China.

The show recently ended a successful run in Hong Kong with the direction of playwright Joanna Chan of the Yangtze Repertory Theatre of America. Sheena is excited for this production for many reasons.

Learn more about why Sheena is enjoying herself in the video below. Did we mention the show wass bi-lingual? Does that mean rehearsal reports were sent in Mandarin? :) Stay tuned to find out!
