Bethany Deal is the Costume Shop Manager and Designer for Center Rep in Walnut Creek and their production of A Christmas Carol. She talked with me in between preview performances and talked about her journey from studying Pharmacology in Sacramento to being one of the many hard working Costumers designing and working in the Bay Area. We talk about the logistics of bringing a large Dickensian show to Walnut Creek, standing up for your rights and worth as an artist, and creative places to store a mic pack.
