Anneliese is currently working on a B.F.A. in Theatre Production, majoring in Technical Design & Management with a costume construction concentration. As both a costume shop apprentice at the Pittsburgh Playhouse and a 19th-century living history interpreter (and former historical costume intern) at Genesee Country Village & Museum, she is pursuing her passions for history and its clothing through theatre. Needle and thread in hand, she can be found wherever there is a production in the works. She would like to thank everyone, especially those in the costume shops, involved in each of these productions for the exciting experiences and for letting her do her favorite thing - costume!
