Carbonell Award Nomination

Robin McGee

Best Costume Design (Play or Musical) for Our Town, Palm Beach Dramaworks

What was your reaction when you heard about your Carbonell Award nomination?

I was thrilled. I was really proud of the work we all did on Our Town and it is nice to be recognized.

What was your first or most memorable theatrical experience on stage or as a member of the audience? I remember seeing Guys and Dolls on stage as a child, and the colors, the dancing, the singing…I was hooked.

I didn't know what or how, but I knew I wanted to be a part of that somehow.

What role/play is on your bucket list?

I have so many! Where to begin? I like designing all kinds of things, really getting into the character, who are they, what are the wearing and why. I especially love doing period pieces. There are really too many to list!

What is the best thing about working in theatre in South Florida?

I have been welcomed here with open arms, so the people. And the weather, definitely the weather!
