A commedia dell'arte show, apart of UBC Theatre & Film's 2019-2020 season. Each year the 3rd year BFA actors put together an a commedia show with the help of director Susan Bertoia. This year's show had an island theme. "This year we bring you to the Island of The Tempest, as the characters of the classic Shakespeare play encounter the shipwrecked members of the hit 1960s sitcom Gilligan's Island. Will the Gilligan crew ever manage to escape the Island madness? Can The Tempest Island Inhabitants find a way to keep their Island theirs?"
A blast to work on, this show brought together two different worlds and thus two different looks. I combined both typical Shakespearian costumes along with more modern costumes for either half of the cast. The Tempest crew's costumes represent the island inhabitants with old torn clothing, while the Gilligan crew was representing the "fresh blood" with their crisp and clean attire.
