The Tempest @ Lucid Stage
I haven’t had many projects in the past year to speak of (a dress here, a vest there), however over the past month I have been extremely caught up in costuming.
William Shakespeare’s “The Tempest” is opening at Lucid Stage in Portland, ME this weekend. Director Adam Gutgsell decided to take this classic and add a bit of a twist; not only is the setting and costuming Steampunk, but he presents the story with a surprise ending (no spoilers here!).
I was referred to him as a costume designer, which is at once not unusual for me (I’ve done costuming for several stage performances/productions), but still a much bigger project then I’ve ever taken on. Never before had I been responsible for more than a couple pieces, let alone an entire cast!
So far it’s been an incredible learning experience, and hopefully will help boost my name a little in the Portland theater community 😛 We’ll see how things work out. Steampunk Shakespeare is not unique in Portland, ME however I hope that I was able to help make this production something above and beyond what has been produced before.
Photos to come soon…
Etsy shop now open
I have created an Etsy shop to showcase some of the one-of-a-kind items I have created specifically for sale. My first item you may recognize from a recent image… she’s truly beautiful! If you like her, or would like something different, but as carefully hand-crafted, please feel free to contact me with your ideas.
