When asked, “Is there a piece of advice you would give to somebody who’s just starting out?” multidisciplinary scenic designer and production manager Angrette McCloskey made this recommendation: “To listen; actively listen. Pay attention to each element of the production around you. There is nothing actually too small for you to know about or care about. Also, as a production manager interacting with crews, I try to be vigilant about not separating ‘I’ from ‘we.’ We are doing this together. Remembering my choices are absolutely going to affect many, many more people, and that the accomplishments taken from the work are the accomplishments of many, many others as well.”
