Awarded the 2004 Portland Drammy Award for Outstanding Achievement in Mask Design "In addition to conveying a vivid impression of each character in this stylized show, these masks were lovely works of art. They reminded us of the rich tradition of European mask-making and the important role of masks in the history of theater.” -Portland Drama Critics Circle, Drammy Awards

I was in a unique position with this production. I was both the designer and director. Since I only had myself to please I took full advantage to take risks and be adventurous with my designs.
