Costume Design & Construction
Anne Young
I have been costuming shows for 40 years.It was an interesting challenge to costume this show because the director had a specific vision he wanted to carry out.. Through trial and error and creative collaboratio, I am very proud of the ultimate results. It was a pleasure to work with the cast and crew.
