I had the privilege of designing the costumes for Phamaly Theatre Company's 2024 production of Miss Holmes by Christopher M. Walsh. 

​

This show featured a cast of all disabled actors, which brought unique challenges for me as a costume designer. I sourced and adapted garments that met the needs of both the characters and the actors' particular disabilities. Some costume highlights from this play include: adapting a bowler hat for an actor who used cochlear implants, sourcing shoes that accommodated actors' foot/leg braces, and building a custom straitjacket that Miss Holmes herself escaped onstage.
