In this episode, hosts Maranda DeBusk and Josafath Reynoso sit down with scenic designer Jason Ammons to swap the stories that shaped them—from The Goat Major of Wales to the harsh realities of graduate school in theatre design.

It’s a conversation about navigating culture shock, learning when to speak up, and why survival in the arts is as much about people skills as it is about talent.
