Meet Our Emcee!

Audra Stafford, morning reporter and fill-in anchor for NBC 7, is wicked excited to emcee this year's event.

Audra has covered the news in our region for more than 20 years. With a special interest in theatre, she has interviewed countless actors, directors, producers, and musicians, including the original Elphaba, Idina Menzel, and Broadway’s current Glinda, Escondido native, Allie Trimm! She is also the host of Broadway San Diego’s annual Season Preview TV special, making her the perfect emcee for Urban Campout: Defying Gravity.

Audra is the recipient of seven Emmy Awards from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Pacific Southwest Chapter. She also received two Student Emmys while at San Diego State University, where she earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Television, Film, and New Media Production. Audra is a member of SAG-AFTRA and the SDSU Alumni Association (Go Aztecs!).

In her free time, she loves spending time with her husband, fellow NBC 7 reporter, Joe Little, her two amazing stepsons, and her dog, Happy.
