Brian Russell as Shakespeare was required to transform on stage from an Elizabethan version of Shakespeare to a more modern one while defending his right for his works to continue to be taught in school. I designed his Elizabethan costume so that he was easily able to remove his ruff and doublet sleeves as well as extend his pants from knee length to full length—all without leaving the stage.

Although this production of Galileo was set in the 1930s, the director and I decided that the time period would have little influence on what our Pope and cardinals wore, since Roman Catholic church fashion has changed very little with time. Photography by Rick Malkin.

Prior to Christmas of 2004, the Mother Ginger costume hung from one man's shoulders while the children hid under the skirts. I remade the costume to fit over a rolling platform pushed by a dancer underneath the costume. A guest "Mother Ginger" now rides on a seat and the children ride underneath the skirt until it is time for them to emerge. Photography by Martin O'Connor.
