We are so lucky to have the brilliant Faith Castaneda on staff for more than 15 years. She is the Costume Shop Supervisor & Lighting Designer. Faith creates looks for each character from head to toe, plus accessories. This process can take weeks or even months to design, includes renderings, fittings, construction, procurement, and ultimately the final costumes for the stage.
Lighting design is part designer and part engineer, as she creates and sets the mood for each scene, creating drama and focus throughout the production. Pairing costume design and light design is a true artform. Faith makes it look easy, but she deserves the spotlight for her artistry and technical expertise.
