Laughter on the 23rd Floor
Designer, Wardrobe, Crew Chief
Neil Simon’s rich detail about how his characters dressed, moved and talked gave my design boundaries. Within these boundaries I found characters with so many choices to make, including a number of comic costume moments. Each writer had their own style from Max Prince’s boasting suits to Carol’s maternity dress. The most exciting character to dress was Milt. He came to work in the writers room looking stylish from head to oxfords. From mid-season writing to the end of The Max Prince Show working with these characters taught me how to use subtle costume choices to show off their zany personalities .
