HAPPILY EVER: Baby Doll Dresses

Two versions of the same dress were needed for a quick change. The more distressed dress was dyed with RIT to match the colors of the set. The actress rolled around on the stage floor and needed to be "dirty" for her next entrance.

CLYBOURNE PARK: 1959 House Dress

A very "simple" house dress. Drape, pattern, muslin mock up, fitting, alter pattern, meeting with designer, source fabric, dye fabric, cut fabric, assemble garment, 2nd fitting, alterations, see it at tech and then... final alterations. All for a "simple" house dress.

SEVEN DWARVES: A Survival Story. A puppet show!

In June of 2013 I attended the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center National Puppetry Conference as a Artist in Residence along with my collaborator, Jean Marie Keevins. Together we workshopped our new puppet production, "Seven Dwarves, A Survival Story". Actors, shadow puppets and toy theater figured prominently.
