Having moved from the Midwest in his early teens after successfully starting a small business selling aerating shoes to farmer’s wives, Parker decided to follow his dream of being amid the bright stage lights of Broadway. Soon he discovered that he really could not actually tolerate those self-same bright lights, Parker found the niche in which his keen mind and extraordinary interpersonal management skills could be best utilized: stage managing. Corralling actors, placating divas and whipping backstage personnel into a well-oiled machine were the things that filled the stage-shaped gap he had been longing for all his life.
After quickly rising through the ranks and 10 successful years as a theater stage manager, he was picked to manage a new show for a new director to be her support as she made her debut. Of course, no stage manger worth his salt could do anything without an assistant to attend to the details and scheduling needed to keep the show running, so when he discovered the Assistant, he knew he had found the right person to aid him in this most recent, and somewhat hair-brained, new show.
