A bit about me!

Hi and welcome! My name is Kaylie Jones (she/her/hers), and I’m a freelance stage manager currently based out of Dallas, TX and always up to travel!

​As a stage manager, my primary goal is to serve as a strong voice for the production team, cast, and crew, while fostering a collaborative, comfortable, and inclusive environment where everyone feels welcome and empowered to create.

​This past summer, I worked as the Special Events Stage Manager at the Aspen Music Festival and School. My responsibilities included overseeing rehearsals and performances, collaborating with stage crews, and ensuring smooth execution of eight weeks of programs in the Michael Klein Music Tent and Harris Concert Hall. I worked closely with various orchestra management and librarian teams to update and maintain paperwork for rehearsals, changeovers, and performances, all while building strong relationships with crew members, artists, maestros, and orchestra musicians.

​In addition to my work in the arts, I served as a student assistant for Texas Tech University Student Housing for 3.5 years and as a student ambassador for the Texas Tech School of Visual and Performing Arts for 1.5 years.

Outside of my professional life, I am an avid podcast listener, coffee enthusiast, reader, sudoku player, and Marvel fan. I’m also a proud plant mom to over 35 houseplants–not including my LEGO plants! When I’m not in rehearsal or calling cues, I love spending quality time with my friends, family, my cats Rosco and Edison.
