ASU Libraries Hidden Treasures: The Irene Corey Collection
Listen now
Description
In this episode Daphne Gill (Noble Science and Engineering Library Manager) meets with Child Drama Collection Curator Katherine Krzys and takes a peak into the collection of stage costumes from designer Irene Corey. Irene literally changed the face of costume and makeup design. For over 50 years she designed costumes, sets and makeup for shows as varied as theatre classics to theme park characters. We would not have seen Lion King or Cats on Broadway without her initial animal makeup and costume work. Irene first became nationally known for the "Book of Job" in the 50's. She also designed the costumes for the television show Barney and Friends and came up with his trademark purple color.
