  • Peter Garbacz

    Technical Director/Stage Manager

    Hey there! I’m Pete. I joined Encore two years ago as Stage Manager. My motto is that if the audience doesn’t know I’m there, I’ve done a good job! That said, the cast definitely knows I am there. As Johnny Harmon said in Curtains, “I am part psychiatrist, part Mother Hen, part Father Confessor.”
