Deb O is our set designer. Yes, she has pink hair. And an amazing story.
After spending eighteen years working in a factory building ECUs (electronic control units) in the Midwest, she found herself pursuing an undergraduate degree in theatre design with a double minor in studio art and art history at Marquette University. And went on to earn an MFA in Theater Design at Yale School of Drama. She also studied folk art at the Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Poland and Nicolaus Copernicus University in Torun, Poland.
Deb O’s extensive scenography training and range of experiences as well as her background in folk art, dance and gymnastics, clowning and mask making, a bit of puppetry have all lent themselves to an innovative approaches to the creation of unique theatrical events.
“I so love starting with a project from its infancy stage! Attending rehearsals is my favorite thing to do. Being in the room helping shape and form the production. Discussing; the palette, proportions, texture, mood, balance, harmony, contrast, space negative and positive. I feel like each project is one of my children and opening I send them out in to the world!”
