When running a venue of any size, it takes a team that operates as one unified front with mutual respect and empathy. Working with Conny Quintanilla and Gabriella Fernandez at the Olympia Theater over the last two years has been a wonderful experience and seeing how a venue operates as a family. Conny Quintanilla is the Production Coordinator at the Olympia, and founder and CEO of FansOnQ, a company that develops and hires casted audiences and seat fillers for major events. Gabriella Fernandez is the venues Director of Theater Operations, and founder and President for Front Yard Theatre Collective, a sketch comedy theater group.\\xa0

In this conversation we talk about running a venue, how COVID-19 has affected their venue, having side hustles, working as a team, and much more.\\xa0
