Karen Gallagher (she/her) is an emerging theatre artist and administrator from Hopkinton, MA. Her main passions lie in stage management and playwriting, though she also loves directing and design. She completed her undergrad education at Northeastern University in Boston, MA with a Bachelors of Science in Media & Screen Studies and Theatre with a minor in Theatrical Design.
During undergrad, she completed two internships. The first was TC Squared Theatre where she fulfilled a variety of roles within the administrative and producing realms. She also worked part-time for TC Squared for a time following her internship, where her focus was marketing and social media. The other was at at The Huntington Theatre Company where she served as a Production Assistant for their productions of Leopoldstadt and Sojourners.
These experiences inspired her to pursue a Masters in Arts Administration, wishing to transfer her leadership and production skills further into the administrative realm and broaden her horizons across the arts industry as a whole.
In her free time, Karen is always immersing herself in some other world whether through video games, shows, music, or through continuing one of her many writing projects.
Karen will soon begin working as a Part Time Operations Team Member at Cambridge Innovation Center, gaining hands-on operations and administrative experience in the professional realm.
While I’m only in my first semester, I can confidently say I made the right choice in choosing this program . The professors bring in so many amazing guest speakers that have already taught me so much about the sector just by sharing their own personal experiences. Not to mention that all of my peers are amazingly talented people whose goals are robust and diverse. It’s really inspiring to be surrounded by such a community.
