The costumes seen above were created by VCU Theatre Associate Professor Toni-Leslie James and her team of alumni, assistant Michael Magaraci (B.F.A. ’12) and illustrator Gloria Kim (B.F.A ’12).
Every person we meet has a story that forces us to refocus and rethink first impressions, to see the layers beneath the flashy or shabby suits. (The fabulous, time-tripping 1970s costumes are by Toni-Leslie James.)
