My costume design for Five by Tenn was recently reviewed. Five by Tenn was performed at Stone Soup Theatre in February, 2007.Five by Tenn is a compilation of Tennessee Williams one-acts, including:
These Are the Stair You Got to Watch
Why Do You Smoke So Much, Lily?
The Fat Man's Wife
Adam and Eve on a Ferry
And Tell Sad Stories of the Deaths of Queens
The show was reviewed by Jacob Clark in the Seattle Gay News, Friday March 2, 2007, Vol. 35, Issue 09.
Here's an excerpt from the full article: Stone Soup Scores Again With '5 X Tenn': A Fresh Evening of Tennessee Williams' Short Plays
"Elsa Hiltner's costumes are inspired. They are not only true to the period of each play, but true to the character, paying attention to the actors' silhouettes and colors. Whether humorous, as in Mimi Davis' gown or stunning, as in Heather Gautschi's day dress in Adam and Eve on a Ferry, they are always absolutely right."
