Strawdog Theatre Company is seeking a Costume Designer for their upcoming production of 12 Ophelias (a play with broken songs) by Caridad Svich, directed by Kamille Dawkins.

In this play with broken songs, Shakespeare’s Ophelia rises out of the water dreaming of reclaiming her life. She finds herself in a neo-Elizabethan Appalachian setting where Gertrude runs a brothel, Hamlet is a Rude Boy and nothing is what it seems. In this mirrored world of word-scraps and cold sex, Ophelia cuts a new path for herself
