Stage Manager.
Props
Master of Craft.
A decade of calling cues, building props, and keeping the wheels turning — from outdoor Shakespeare under the Agecroft sky to mainstage productions across Virginia.
A craftsperson of the unseen.
I'm Jordan Dively — a stage manager, props master, and quiet engine behind a decade of theater in Richmond, Virginia. From outdoor Shakespeare festivals at Agecroft Hall to acclaimed mainstage runs with Richmond Shakespeare and Quill Theatre, my job is to make sure every cue lands, every prop is in the right hand, and every show closes as gracefully as it opened.
I'm equally at home running auditions, managing a props budget, calling a packed run, or building soft goods backstage. I'm also actively expanding into film and TV production, and eager to bring hands-on craft knowledge into educational settings.
"Stage management is the art of being invisible — until the moment the show needs you to be everything."
From Macbeth to Midsummer.
The toolkit, honed over a decade.
