Since cast as the lead role in an original fairy tale in 2nd grade, I have loved theater. For the past 12 years, it has been a relatively constant hobby of mine, as I try to dabble in at least one show each year.
A Midsummer Night's Dream has been in that rotation three times in the last eight years, to my immense delight. In the first iteration for the Ohio Shakespeare Festival, I designed only two costumes, as I also performed, sang, and played violin. The second iteration was my very first time as a show's costume designer -- a shockingly stressful position, at times. This last time, I was the costume designer for St. Augustine's HEP, and it was, bar none, my most successful costume venture thus far.
