As You Like It

“Dressing Rosalind as herself and her masculine Ganymede persona presents a certain challenge for costume designers. Dottie Marshall Englis clads Rosalind in elegant and traditional attire befitting her status as the daughter of a duke. She clothes Ganymede in breeches, vest and cap that are just masculine enough to fool Orlando into observing to Duke Senior, “…the first time that I ever saw him / Methought he was a brother to your daughter…”

The rest of the costumes in this production are equally well considered and well sewn.”

— CB Adams, KDHX

“…costume designer Dorothy Marshall Englis succeeds in adorning the players both in pastoral attire within the Forest as well as regal clothing worn by the imperious Duke Frederick.”

—Mark Bretz, Ladue News

“A 19th century American setting is established by the splendid designs of Scott C. Neale (set), Dottie Marshall Englis (costumes), Taylor Laine Abs (props), and Denisse Chavez (lighting).”

—Gerry Kowarsky, HEC

“I can’t overstate how ideal this setting is for this show. The colorful, 19th Century styled set by Scott C. Neale highlights the rustic, forested area in which it is placed, and the costumes by Dottie Marshall English as delightfully whimsical and detailed, also with an early Victorian flair.”

—Michelle Kenyon, Snoops Theatre Thoughts

“As is customary, the technical work is superb, with distinct work by lighting designer Denisse Chavez and costume designer Dottie Marshall Englis.”
