PCPA Theaterfest
Director: Mark Booher
Costume Designer: Pamela Shaw
Ringmaster Polk's Extended Shoes: For this character the designer wanted to create an elongated shoe like the style actually worn by President Polk. I carved 4" extension pieces out of dense L200 foam and barged them to the tips of the shoes. I then used muslin to drape and pattern a shoe cover. The final covers were cut and sewn out of a thin black leather.
