Erin Lee Shields
DIRECTOR/COSTUME DESIGNER
Erin Lee Shields is a Sophomore Acting Major with an independent focus in direction and an aspiration to extend her directorial studies into graduate school following her time with Shenandoah Conservatory. Hornets’ Nest’s Production of WORKING serves as her collegiate directorial debut and she couldn’t be more appreciative for it. The student work environment so heavily present among the student population has equipped her with an unwavering sense of support and community throughout this entire process. It has revitalized her love for theatre and those who dedicate their lives to do it. It continues to amplify the importance of creative autonomy, expression, organization, and collaboration among young artists both in front and behind the table from every discipline eager to contribute. Because of this, she wants to extend her deepest thanks for coming out and supporting this product of student work while also urging you to continue to do so in any capacity possible as it is so crucial to any educational theatre atmosphere. These things, at their core, are what theatre is about and having the support to instill it while we continue to learn is so important.

Naja Bates
CHOREOGRAPHER
Naja Bates is a Sophomore Musical Theatre major and is excited to announce that this is her first time choreographing for a show on her own! Often choreographing her own tap solos, and this year, getting the opportunity to co-choreograph "Carousel" in the winter, Naja has come to the realization that choreography is another way she is able to express her love of dance through other performers. With elements of street jazz and hip hop, she was able to put so much of herself into this piece. She wants to thank Erin Shields for trusting her ideas and creating such a joyful space, her teachers and family who constantly inspire her, and Evan Gray for being the best 'co-choreographer' she could ever ask for. She has enjoyed getting to see the cast bring her choreo to life, and can't wait for next time!
