ABBIE HARTMAN
Producer
Abbie Hartman brings to the production what maple syrup brings to hash browns; a dose of total randomness.
This is not Abbie’s first foray into DRAMAC: in the past year she has been involved in almost every production, including Producer for "Resolution" as part of Godzilla 2012 and Stage Manager for Comrev Twenny-Doz.
Abbie usually prefers to remain backstage as crew, tech or stage manager or else be behind the scenes as producer, and continues to stun everyone with her seemingly endless supply of stories.
Abbie looks forward to the opportunity to bring Ruby Moon to life and share Sydney’s vision with the world.
