BERIT JOHNSON (Stage Manager, Props) does a lot of this sort of thing.
KAREN FLOOD (Costume Design) has been costuming since 1996, out of her vintage shop on first avenue during a time when there were many independent theaters in the east village. She then costumed a play in the first nyc fringe, originated Urinetown, made clothes for all of Kirk Bromley's plays. She still provides costumes for film and television, including the very talented and funny Shannon Plumb! She has an odd niche of costuming horror, something that she never thought she would do because ... blood... it all started with "Penny Dreadful", and then there was "The Big Bad", "Moosehead Over the Mantle" and "The Horror at Gallery Kay". She absolutely loves working with Maggie and this wonderful cast of lovely friends! She also paints a lot.
