I created sets and costumes for Annie for San Jose Children’s Musical Theater. It was a tremendous project. We had about 120 orphans and we were playing at the San Jose Civic Auditorium – which is a cavernous space. I decided to create a spectacle of pattern – every orphan was a mish-mash of fabric patterns which contrasted with the simple solids of their outfits at the end of the show. The director Gary De Mattei envisioned a Globe Theater like thrust stage and it worked beautifully for the spectacle of orphans that paraded in and out of the space. It was a great show that was produced again two years later.
