Heidi Schmitz

Production

Heidi has been part of the Zingara family in various guises since inception, and she knows the company and its people better than most. She has also taken several sabbaticals over the years to travel and experience the alternative underbellies of cities like London, Amsterdam and Sao Paulo. It is these experiences that best equipped her for her current position, which requires her to work with the unique and extraordinarily talented people who make up the Zingara performance troupe.

As Production Mistress, Heidi is responsible for the smooth running of all facets of each and every show. And this is no mean feat when you consider the logistics and timing of putting on a nightly production, all the while serving dinner to four hundred guests.

Over and above this, our eternal hippy is in the office before nine each day, ensuring that everything is in place for upcoming events as well as sourcing new performers, arranging visas and dealing with broken nails and bad hair days

Without her the show simply wouldn’t go on.
