CMU Costume Shop
During all four years at CMU, Aleigha’s education was supplemented by her work in the costume shop on every mainstage production. In addition to tasks like alterations, pulling items from stock, maintaining inventory, etc. Aleigha also built her skills in draping and garment construction. Below are a few of the exciting builds she had a hand in creating.
