A Little About Myself.Rebecca Xhajanka is a Props Artisan and Scenic Painter with experience on nearly 70 productions across regional theaters, opera companies, and educational tours. She earned her BFA in Scenic Painting from Webster University’s Conservatory of Theatre Arts, where she studied prop design and scenic painting.
She has since worked with theaters including the Children’s Theatre of Charlotte, PlayMakers Repertory Company, Berkshire Theatre Group, Flat Rock Playhouse, Opera Theatre of Saint Louis, and Gateway Playhouse. Her work ranges from building and sourcing props to managing rentals and supporting backstage crews. She has also stepped into leadership as Interim Prop Manager at both the Children’s Theatre of Charlotte and Flat Rock Playhouse. Rebecca believes it’s the props and the details they bring that make a production come to life, and she is passionate about creating pieces that serve both the story and the performers who bring it to the stage.
