Hello!
I'm Kayla Jordan! I have a passion for stage management, theatre history, and dramaturgy, with a special interest in the development of new productions. I also have experience in props design and props management! Most recently, I have worked as a Production Assistant for Playmakers Repertory Company (Chapel Hill, NC) during their 2025-2026 season.
My Story (So Far)
I am a recent graduate from Elon University with a double major in Theatrical Design and Technology as well as Drama and Theatre Studies (and a psychology minor). During my time in college, I took on a variety of roles within the performing arts department, including assistant stage manager, props manager, and dramaturg (to name a few!). I greatly enjoyed my early work with Renegade Productions, a student-run theatre organization, as well as mainstage productions with the Department of Performing Arts. During my junior and senior years, I began to simultaneously explore my fascination with props design and dramaturgy, leading me to develop a unique blend of skills that is drawn from my experience as both an artist and a scholar.

In the fall of 2024, I received multiple awards for my dedication to the arts, including one for Exemplary Development in Theatrical Design and Technology, as well as the Drama and Theatre Studies Outstanding Scholar Award.
​
Most recently, I have enjoyed working for Playmakers Repertory Company as their production assistant for their 2025-2026 season. I supported the stage management team during the rehearsal process, managed a crew of undergraduate students during performances, and aided in the creation of paperwork such as shift plots, pre and post show prop checklists, and crew management files.
