Stuart Rose joined NCSSM in May 2026 as the Auditorium Technical Director on our Durham campus. He has worked in the technical theatre field since 2011 and has worked everything from small black box events to Broadway and West End style stages around the world. He has been blessed with opportunities to work with the Carolina Ballet and Disney Cruise Line. He brings his experience in almost every role in theatre venue operations to make events run smoothly. When he is not working, he likes to relax and ride his motorcycles, enjoy a good audiobook, or build models. He likes to escape into the worlds of Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Narnia, The Rangers Apprentice, and the Powder Mages.
