Where Imagination Gets Dressed!

Every Costume Has a Story.

From the first sketch to the final curtain call, we create, organize, and care for the costumes that bring stories to life.

Featuring

Cassi Nelson & Susan Lybbert

Cassi and Susan met where so many theatre friendships begin — backstage, surrounded by fabric, pins, and performers who need to be ready in ninety seconds. Together they share a love of storytelling, a respect for history, and a belief that a costume should help every performer feel like their character the moment they step into it.
