​Viviane Galloway | Costume Design

A bit about me: I got my B.A. in Theater Arts from the University of Richmond and an M.F.A. in Theater Design at Brooklyn College. I specialize in well-researched period design, and also "periovocative" and "anachro-period" design. Having seen the fashion industry from the inside, I now do my best to design in a sustainable and ethical way: reimagining materials, using vintage fabrics and sourcing used items whenever possible. 

I most recently designed costumes for the world premiere of Christie Perfetti Williams’ newest play, "Bettye and the Jockettes Spinning Records at the Holiday Inn" (Retro Productions). Previous work includes "It Shoulda Been You" at Schenectady Light Opera Company;  the world premiere of “Yours for the Oppressed,”  by Heather Frederick, Hunter Frederick, Olivia Waldron, and Phillip Kilian (Siena College and Black Theater Troupe of Upstate New York); the World Premiere of "Three on a Match" by Rhett Martinez (IATI Theater); and the World Premier of "We are a Masterpiece" by Gina Femia (Retro Productions).  "Turn of the Screw" with the Kaaterskill Actors Theater;  "Romantic Trapezoid" (Racheal Reiner Productions); "Mrs. California", "Dear Ruth", The Desk Set, The Baltimore Waltz and The Butter and Egg Man (Retro Productions); Sweeny Todd, The Tempest, Happy End, The Cradle Will Rock, Candide , A Midsummer Night's Dream,  and A Little Night Music (Theater 2020); Pygmalion and Mother Courage (Jean Cocteau Rep.); A View from the Bridge (The Secret Theater); and True West (White Horse Productions). I have also also designed many one acts at The 52nd St. Project, a program that works with kids to create original productions. I've been nominated for the New York Innovative Theatre Awards for Outstanding Costume Design for The Desk Set (Retro Productions, 2010), A Midsummer Night’s Dream (Theater 2020, 2013), and A Little Night Music (Theater 2020, 2016).
