Insights from Costume Designer Mary Farahnakian

by Rick Curtiss, dramaturg

The_Winter's_Tale

At a recent post show discussion for The Winter’s Tale (held every Thursday night after the show), one of the first questions from the audience was about the amazing costumes. I’m happy to report that I had the pleasure of interviewing costume designer Mary Farahnakian right before the show opened, and am excited to share her insights with you. The costumes in the show are inspiring in both their attention to detail and dedication to the themes of the show.

What was your favorite costume?
