This outcome was achieved by the successful execution of the production including dozens of period costumes spiked with modern fashion flair, high-flying wigs, and a theater turned into a fashion runway. This production offered a chance for artists to grow and expand their skills. This outcome was achieved by giving an all local cast and crew the chance to work on a new play, in a new hybrid style, with a unique theater configuration. It gave local artists - especially our costume and wig designer - the chance to explore new techniques and styles and push boundaries in their fields.
