American Shakespeare Center (December, 2022)​

​

A classic Christmas tale, this production was set in the present day of Scrooge, 1840s when the original book was published. To highlight Scrooge's journey and acknowledge the time that has passed, the scene's from his past were set the Regency era. This past  was a time for Scrooge that was more bright and hopeful, thus the costumes featured a spring time color palette. 

 

The American Shakespeare Center produces this show every year and this production featured a redesigned all three Ghosts.  They each reflect a season: the Past is Spring and Summer,  the Present is Fall and Early Winter, and the Future is the grim and lonely Late Winter. 

 

Pieces constructed by designer include: the wand for Christmas Past, the robe for the Ghost of Christmas Present, the robe Ghost of Christmas Future, Tiny Tim's leg brace,  and distressing the Beggar Boy and the Charwoman. ​
