Elizabeth "Lizzie" Kitzig joined the Spokane theater community in 2015, when her love of arts and crafts found an outlet with managing properties for many shows. That quickly evolved into becoming a Stage Manager for shows such as Left Overs, Arcadia, Fiddler On The Roof Jr., God’s Country, Hecuba, A Place to Call Home, Present Laughter, An Iliad, I Am My Own Wife, Squeamish, and Open. During the pandemic, Lizzie learned how to operate the light board and she has been happily pushing buttons ever since. Lizzy is the Resident Stage Manager at Stage Left Theater.

John is excited for another opportunity to work at Stage Left, and for the opportunity to work on bringing An Iliad to life once more. John is a lighting technician who currently works at Spokane Falls Community College as an Instructor for the Spartan theatre. John’s credits include lighting cultural dramas and Grammy award winning artists at the Bing theatre, along with numerous productions at Stage Left Theater during the pandemic. John is also a House Manager at Gonzaga’s new Myrtle Woldson Performing Arts Center.

Paul J Watts has been a thorn in the side of Stage Left Theater, both on stage and behind the scenes, getting in the way of performances by adding scenic painting, sound, and light cues for both festivals and season productions since 2017 when Texas ran him out of town. Having pestered the Lone Star State with everything from Stage, Screen, TV performances, photography, makeup, and playwriting, they finally had enough. Now he’s Spokane’s problem. His past acting roles as Fred from Civic Theatre’s Present Laughter and Odysseus in Stage Left’s Hecuba were particularly dangerous. Paul has been the Sound Technician for all of Stage Left’s streamed events this past year. Social distancing around him is advised or you may lose a finger.
