Sharon Sohner, Costume Design

Sharon Sohner has been involved with Waukesha Civic Theatre since 1971. She has acted, directed, stage managed, and costumed shows for WCT as well as other area community theaters and schools. A high school Communications/Drama teacher for 35 years, she was involved in all aspects of educational theater. Upon retirement, she decided to narrow her focus to costuming. She has headed or helped with at least one show per year since 2001 here with the community at Waukesha Civic Theatre. She especially likes to costume plays of a different era. As she says, “Costuming is kind of like playing dress up (whIch I loved to do as a kid) except I get to put the clothes on other people!”

Sharon will be talking to us about five things to consider when costuming a play outside of present time.
