Diana Williams is a natural born Texan, raised in Oklahoma. A stage manager and light designer, Diana received her degree in Technical Theatre from the University of Tulsa and acts as the Technical Director of the Blackjack Rewrite Company. She spends her time making sure that all the shows run smoothly behind the scenes. She designs the lights, runs the streams, and heads the technical team for each show. She also examines each problem with the first stream so subsequent streams get better and better! Diana loves to read, write, and spend time with her dog, Elliot, and fiance, Aaron (He keeps her sane and brings food during tech week!). In the future, Diana would like to get her Masters in Light Design or Stage Management, and eventually teach technical theatre to the next generation.

She has been an actress, director, makeup artist, and even a former casting director for a local haunted house. She is currently the assistant director of cosplay for a local anime convention. In the future she might be spotted taking on the role of producer and possibly writer, because how hard could it be, honestly? When she isn't working or spending time with her family, she is always doing something with theatre. She wants to thank her family and amazing husband for being so supportive and willing to travel with her on her journey.

She has worked in concert with local non-profit organizations, as well as many individual theatre companies in the area using performing arts skills to build confidence through creativity, collaboration, and communication skills. There is a coffee spill on almost everything George owns and she can’t go more than a week without an avocado. Her cats have voices of their own and regularly give speeches to denote what they’ve been doing between naps. George hangs around creative people for inspiration and makes fun of the world because life is a ridiculous place to live.
