🧵 BEHIND THE SEAMS: MEET ASSOCIATE COSTUME DESIGNER DELAINEY OLIVIER
Bringing the world of 1946 to life in STAD’s production of Arthur Miller’s All My Sons is a true collaboration. Today, we are highlighting Delainey Olivier, the student associate costume designer whose talent, commitment, and attention to detail have been invaluable in getting this production to opening night.
Delainey is a third-year Theatre Design & Technology student at the University of Northern Colorado with an emphasis in Costume Design. Through STAD productions, she has built experience in wardrobe, stage management, and collaborative costume design. Her previous production work includes 42nd Street, Miranda’s Nightmare, and Sin Street Social Club.
For All My Sons, Delainey has worked alongside faculty costume designer Anne Toewe to research the late 1940s and translate the period’s silhouettes, clothing, and social expectations into costumes that support each character and the unfolding story.
“Delainey has been an invaluable partner throughout this process,” Toewe said. “Her research, creative insight, problem-solving, and willingness to take on every challenge have helped move the costumes from initial ideas toward the stage. This production simply would not be where it is without her.”
For Delainey, the opportunity has offered a new kind of artistic challenge:
“What has been particularly rewarding about working on this show has been paying tribute to the time period through extensive research and loyalty to the silhouettes and fashion trends of the late 1940s. I have really enjoyed navigating the challenges and advantages of designing a period show, and I can’t wait to see all of the designs come together to support the beautiful story of All My Sons.”
Join us in celebrating Delainey and the many student artists whose work makes live theatre possible!
