Backstage with Jordan Burlison

Graduating senior Jordan Burlison joins Backstage with Brough to give us a look at the side of theatre most people never see. As Union Theatre’s stage manager for the last two years, Jordan has helped keep the chaos organized, the cues moving, and the shows running from behind the curtain. In this episode, we talk about what it really takes to stage manage a production, her journey from middle school tech to calling cues for major musicals, favorite memories from Shrek, Footloose, and Little Women, and the life lessons theatre has taught her along the way. Plus, we dive into backstage fails, tech crew stories, Red Bulls, Johnny Cash, and what’s next as Jordan heads to Wichita State.
