SHEA O'NEIL

Barter Players World Premiere

Written by Catherine Bush

This production of Rudolph was, again, one of those lucky few where no one changed costumes at all. I was able to design and construct a whole Santa suit and was able to have so much fun with what working Reindeer would actually wear. I designed this show with all the reindeer with workers overalls and some comedically designed antlers on their beanies. The letters on their overall pocket are the first letter of their name and their corresponding reindeer level. When a mishap happens and the level 1 reindeer are all involved in an unfortunate sleigh crash, all of the level 2 reindeer practice for the Reindeer Games. Rudolph tries to join in but they all call her a freak because of her sparkling nose (which in this production came equipped with some red Swarovski rhinestones.)
