Niki was born stage manager. She’s a calm, professional, reassuring presence who you can rely on to get things done and maintain a harmonious atmosphere.

Nick Leavens – Director
If I could always work with one stage manager, it would be Niki Armato. She set the highest standard throughout our work on The House of Von Macrame. The show was giant and complex with over 150 costumes, 14 actors, complicated scene changes and extreme blood effects throughout. During the entirety of the process Niki displayed the utmost professionalism, organization, tact, know-how and always maintained her cool under extreme pressure. I hope I get the opportunity to work with her again and any director would be lucky to have her on their team.
Joshua Conkel – Playwright
Niki is, without a doubt, the best Stage Manager I’ve ever worked with. She ran an enormous show with 14 actors, 150 costumes, and copious stage effects with grace, cool, and a sense of humor. She was also incredibly adept at managing time and her staff/crew. She is an A+++ stage manager!
Alan Stanford – Artistic Director at Pittsburgh Irish and Classical Theatre
Niki has worked as an assistant stage manager on several of my productions with Pittsburgh Irish and Classical Theatre. She is incredibly efficient, hard working and reliable. She engages with her work on every level. She also has a great sense of team spirit, and is always popular with the team she works with. I would have no difficulty in recommending her or,indeed, employing her in the future.
Elizabeth Atkinson – Freelance Sound Designer and Composer
I have worked with Niki at several theaters as an ASM, SM, and as a PSM. It’s always a pleasure to work with her and I couldn’t ask for better professionalism and thoroughness.
