Other Industry Experience
Outside of being a performer, Brooke has also worked behind the curtain and camera in various positions and enjoys her time off stage/screen just as much as she does on it. She also enjoys teaching and mentoring and takes pride in introducing young people to the world of theatre.
Producing
The Henry Konstantinow Studio Theatre
Brooke was involved with Northern Kentucky University's Henry Konstantinow Studio Theatre, an entirely student produced, directed, and acted theatre, for 3 years. She began as a producer in 2019 and took over as the Lead Producer and President of the group from 2021-2022. In this new position, she not only helped produce at least one of the shows that made up their annual 6 show season, but also ran meetings, managed the theatre's audition/performance schedules, helped coordinate fundraisers for the company, and represented the theatre at campus events.

Directing
Waynesville High School
After taking some time off from the stage herself in 2023 to focus on on-camera pursuits, Brooke heard in August that her former high school was without a theatre director and would be cancelling their shows for the year could they not find one. Feeling for the kids because she remembered how much she cared about the theatre program as a student and how little support it got, she stepped up to choose, cast and direct a fall play with less than 2 months to spare before opening. After realizing how much she loved the kids, she extended her contract to stay for the spring musical as well.

Stage Management
TheatreLab Dayton
Having stage managed a comedy jam in college, Brooke wanted to try her hand at it for real. For her first full-scale theatrical production, she was lucky to have the opportunity to stage manage a very early production of one of her favorite new musicals alongside some of her favorite artistic collaborators at TheatreLab Dayton, a professional theatre group near her home town in Dayton, Ohio.

Stand-In Work
Film
When the originally booked stand-in ghosted a feature film shooting in Cincinnati, D. Lynn Meyers and her team looked to Brooke for a last minute replacement knowing that even if she didn't have previous experience they could count on her to be timely and professional. Brooke did her first stint as a stand-in for twin child actors on a SAG-AFTRA independent film set and has since joined Cincinnati's local stand-in roster.
