Hi.

I'm Corinne

About Me

A native of Madison, Wisconsin, and current resident of NE Minneapolis, I moved to the Twin Cities in January of 2017 to work for the White Bear Lake School District as a Theatre Technician and a Tech Director for all school affiliated theatrical performances. In Jan 2022 started freelancing as a stagehand, A2, swing sound/ light technician, electrician, wig/ wardrobe maintenance, and carpenter full time. My primary home for work has been at Theater Latté Da in Minneapolis, but have worked on National Tours, at the Guthrie, Ten Thousand Things Theater Company, Children's Performing Arts, and the Minnesota Fringe Festival.

Prior to my move, I received my Bachelor of Music in Percussion and my Bachelors of Arts in Physics from Ithaca College in Spring of 2016. From graduation until my move to the Twin Cities, I performed as a pit orchestra musician for multiple regional theaters in Cortland, NY and Chicago, IL.

I currently freelance as a theater technician and musician. I currently perform with the Grand Symphonic Winds ensemble and the Batucada Du Norte brazillian drumming group. My hobbies include sewing, woodwork, tabletop gaming, and reading!
