About

My name is Natalie Kuhni. I am currently a student at Utah Valley University working towards getting my BFA with a concentration in Theatre Design and Production. I graduated from Snow College in Spring of 2023 with my Associate of Arts. While at Snow College I had to opportunity to work on 17 productions in total and was able to Stage Manage 6 of the productions. I was born in Denver, Colorado and raised in Spanish Fork, Utah. I have been working on Stage Management since 2016 and have been improving my organizational and communications skill since. In the 2019-2020 school year I was the Technical Representative at Spanish Fork High School prior to my graduation in Spring 2020. While attending Snow College I was awarded Outstanding Assistant Stage Manager, Outstanding Stage Manager, Outstanding Designer, and Outstanding Theatre Student of the Year. I enjoy working in all aspects of the theatre, but Stage Management is where I thrive the most. I enjoy being able to watch the show come together from the first pre-production meeting to the final performance.
