Ms. Beckett-Ball’s appearances are sponsored by the Emberlight Women’s Fund
Lucy Beckett-Ball is excited to be returning to the Emberlight Festival for her third year. She is currently based in North Carolina and has spent the past 6 years Stage Managing in the Midwest and now the South. Lucy has a goal to create a safe and inclusive environment in the theater. She guides her stage management through her core principles: safety, communication, service, and intent.
She currently attends the University of North Carolina School of Arts where she studies Design and Production, concentrating in Stage Management. Before moving out to North Carolin Lucy attended Interlochen Arts Academy majoring in Design and Production. During her years there she worked in various positions such as the Company Manager for the 2025 Interlochen One Act Festival, Stage Managed many of their Studio and Main Stage productions, and during her final semester guided many of her classmates through designing a production of Macbeth that she hopes one day can be built. She went on to earn the Quinn Iris: Excellence in Design and Production Award and one of Interlochen’s Young Artist Awards for Design and Production. This year Lucy had the opportunity of returning to Interlochen to Assistant Stage Manage their Interlochen Shakespeare Festival where they presented A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
Recently Lucy has worked on A Little Night Music, Beautiful: A Carole King Musical, Volpone, Into the Woods, the 2024 Emberlight Festival, Hamlet, and Network.
Lucy is thrilled to be returning to Emberlight again and cannot wait to see everyone around Ironwood and the Upper Peninsula!
