As an assistant for the Theatre Department, I help build the costumes worn on UMW Main Stage Productions. We often pull pieces from storage before altering each piece to fit an individual actor, create new pieces from patterns, or creating patterns from scratch. Each photo illustrates the work I have contributed to various productions.
