I have had many wonderful opportunities to work with those in the theater department and participate in shows with them. My first experience of crewing a show and working with the whole production crew was when we did the musical Wizard of Oz during my freshman year. I worked in class with fellow costume majors to make poppy costumes. Me and a friend were in charge of two different parts of the costumes and then putting them together, it was my responsibility to make the green poncho and add the leaves. I had to go back and forth between communicating and helping explain what I was doing so others could help and after I communicated it made it so much easier because so many people knew what to do to help. Outside of the classroom I also volunteered to crew the show and had to dress the trees for in their costumes for my first quick change. I had to talk to all the actors and memorize how they preferred to get help. These experiences and the patience of those who had done this before helped me learn to work with others, especially on crews.
