He loves watching these kids transform the written word into action on stage.

Costume Design

The Wizard of Oz is her all time favorite movie, so of course was happy to be the Costume Designer at George Cromwell again for this production. Her daughter, Jewel, is on the stage crew for her last year at George Cromwell. The cast and crew have been working so hard, and she can't wait to see the final production! Thank you to her husband for his endless support!
