Produced by Radiant Theatre Company, Portland OR
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.
