Hello! I’m Sydney Leffler and I am a stage manager hailing from a town near Atlanta, Georgia. I was brought up in a home filled with art, music, and the occasional trip to the theatre. Growing up around it I always had a passion for it all but I didn’t get into theatre myself until I joined pit orchestras in middle and high school. Soon after I made the switch backstage and really found a passion that helps me grow as a student, a creative, and as a person. My love for stage management brought me to Purchase which in turn brought me an even more incredible community and future. Below you will find selected experiences that I have worked on throughout my time in college. For additional information, my contact information and resume are available.
