About This Document: Maria Day Hyde, props mistress, University of Rhode Island ROLE MODELS My first professional job in the theatre was as Peter Sellars's assistant director at the American National Theatre at the Kennedy Center in D.C. I worked with Peter on three shows - he actually listened to my ideas, and he sometimes even let me work with cast members on my own. After several days of painstaking work on a difficult scene, one of the actors threw up his hands in frustration and asked our director a question.\n He said, "There's no such thing as an assistant director; most directors don't want another director lurking around their productions; go stage manage - it's the only way you'll get into the room." The terrific production, set at the apse of a cathedral near the campus, featured Randolph Curts Rand of Elevator Repair Service as Ariel, Molly Hickok of Big Dance Theater as Caliban, Jeremy Shamos as Ferdinand and an assistant stage manager named Diane Paulus.
