    Name: Robby Mantegna

    Discipline: Stage Design and Production

    Class Year: 2005

    Current Gig: Manager of Media Production for Global Experience & Innovation at Carnival Corporation

    Best Lesson Learned at BSA: Getting to learn, create, and work together with talented classmates of different backgrounds, from all over the Baltimore area, was a great lesson in listening to, understanding, and appreciating other perspectives.

    Most awkward BSA moment: Tripping and falling down the main lobby spiral stairs.

    Funniest BSA memory: This isn’t funny per se, but I have a very vivid memory of lighting an onstage dance/music video-type performance of Britney Spears’ Stronger in the Ballroom for Lighting Design class.

    Proudest Moment: It’s so hard to pick just one, but whenever I work on a large entertainment project — be it a show, theme park event, television series — it’s always deeply gratifying when the work finally premieres and is enjoyed by audiences/guests/viewers.  It’s a privilege to collaborate with so many talented creative partners and I’m truly lucky to have a career doing what I love.
