Janessa Jayne Styck
*People’s Choice Nominee
Macbeth, GreenStage; Much Ado About Nothing, SecondStory Repertory; The Comedy of Errors, Wooden O
From the nomination panel: “Fantastic half-period, half-steampunk costumes. Supported the weirdness of the show, while being awesome on their own. My favorite: the witches’s costumes, which transitioned from ragged, semi-Victorian dresses with corsets and long trains into cloaks and hoods and witchy fabric.” [Macbeth] |
