Assistant Director & Stage Manager
Avery Arnold
Avery is a Stage Manager with Directing tendencies. This is his 8th production with GTW! His favorite fairytales are any that involve witches, or Cinderella. He has experience with woods after his years of walking the 40 Acres in Austin to attain his degree from The University of Texas at Austin, hook ‘em. He is also an avid Survivor fan so he knows how to survive in the wooded jungle of Fiji from the comfort of his couch.
