Good morning, Atlanta Tessitura Community!
(Renee and) I recently joined Christina Dresser as the Community Co-Chairs for this wonderful group. We've been onboarded and already had our first planning Happy Hour, and I can't wait to share the details of the events that we are cooking up- both for training opportunities and some *social shenanigans* that can bring us all together to experience each others' venues, company and art as well as network and build connections with other Tessitura folks/ nerds/users :-)
Meredith asked for us to introduce ourselves on this platform, so heeeeere we go!
I'm Kati Grace Brown- yup, "Kati Grace" is one name. It's probably the most Alabama thing about me. I've been with the Atlanta Shakespeare Company at the Shakespeare Tavern Playhouse in various capacities since 2007. I began using Tessitura as a box office assistant (shout out to our Box Office Queen, Becky!) and then adapted our Tessitura usage to also get the Education department out of Quickbooks and Excel files. I'm now one of our two Power Users, though mostly I still just build for Education, on board new Education users and serve as a redundancy for Becky when she goes on vacay or is performing.
Outside of Tessitura land, I'm an actor, director, producer and Intimacy Choreographer at ASC, help out with patron services at Actor's Express and teach private voice lessons through Dauphin Dance Center in Tucker.
Outside of WORK, I love to read (fantasy, sci-fi and historical fiction), travel, hike, kayak and practice yoga. And find margaritas and cheese dip :-) Oh, I also just became a first-time home buyer!
I'm going to pass of this thread to my other lovely co-chairs to introduce/ reintroduce themselves officially.
Wishing everyone a lovely Tuesday!
Kati Grace
Yay, Kati Grace Brown! Thank you for co-chairing the Atlanta Tessitura Community group!
