A Keynote "Happening"

Catherine Zublin, Professor of Theatre & Costume Designer
2010 Crystal Crest "Master Teacher"

As the university costume designer, Catherine Zublin helps actors discover elements of their character through their costume, assists directors transform the playwrights’ words into the world they envision, and collaborates with other members of the design team to create a harmonious visual environment for an invented world.  The costume designer helps the audience understand the story, characters and their relationships. Some of Catherine’s favorite costumes from her 25 years at Weber State will come out of storage for this event!
