Costume Design
Johnathan Underwood
Johnathan is ecstatic getting to work on his first Bailey Theatre production! Primarily an actor, Johnathan has been quite fortunate to portray many amazing characters onstage, yet he is a multifaceted creature who loves to show off his many skillsets within the theatre. When not on stage, Johnathan is either daydreaming about being on stage, or feverishly shopping online (hence, his excitement to step back into costuming!) A southerner himself, he was beyond giddy getting the opportunity to costume such an iconic show. ***Instagram @wakebrunchrepeat ***
