Meet the Crew Behind the Crews
Valerie Stedman Nolan
The phrase “calm, cool, and collected” explains why our Vice President of Production, Valerie Nolan, is a client favorite. Originally from a small town outside of Philadelphia, Valerie studied theatre at Franklin & Marshall College and proceeded to work as an Assistant Stage Manager on Broadway!
With years of experience in theatre stage management, Valerie has dedicated her insight to the video production industry for over a decade. Alongside her undeniable management and organizational expertise, Valerie enjoys learning about new types of productions as well as getting to know new clients and technology each day at Crews Control. As our spelling whiz and trivia champ, Valerie has a knack for solving puzzles, board games, and any challenge that comes her way. With a chemist for a Dad and a librarian for a Mom, it’s no wonder Valerie can balance any booking in a breeze! Valerie’s daily motto, “Take it one moment at a time,” may be the key to her success here at Crews Control, as well as achieving her lifelong goal of learning to bake a great cake (or even just a good one).
