Episode 14: Talking to award-winning Theatre Set and Costume Designer – Cleo Pettitt!

12 Aug 2022

In this episode of the New Wolsey Theatre Podcast, award-winning Set & Costume Designer Cleo Pettitt tells us all about her role, how she got into the industry and a little about our upcoming pantomime, Goldilocks and the Three Bears, which she's working on!

We chat  about her global travels, how it's vital for her role to work closely with other departments within a theatre, and the importance of a model-box (a tiny version of the stage dressed as you want it to look for the actual show!).

Listen out for ingenious ways of keeping cast members cool in animal costumes, as well as some really interesting work she's recently been a part of, including for the Platinum Jubilee!

Thank you to Cleo for taking the time out of her busy schedule to speak to us!
