Costume Design is so much more to me than putting clothes on bodies; it is my art of storytelling. Through it I consider character and movement, mood and setting to bring concept to life, convey resonating truths, and create understanding. We can often forget about the beauty of this life - costumes remind us. We get so busy we forget to laugh - costumes stimulate us. We all want to feel alive - costumes pull at our heartstrings. There is joy to be possessed, laughter to be had, empathy to be embraced. My goal in life is to tell a meaningful story filled with Truth, time and time again. Paint and fabrics are my words. A love of humanity is my storyline. Costuming with a Purpose is my title.

A little about Sara: I am originally form North Carolina and just recently moved to Texas. I am new to CYT but am so excited to be a part of this team and mission. I graduated from Liberty University with my Bachelor’s in Theatre Performance and a Minor in Music Vocal Performance. While at Liberty I had the privilege of performing in both academic as well as professional shows and was a participant in several theatrical competitions including NATS & KCACTF. Because I am a follower of Christ and an actress I felt God’s calling on my life to redeem the arts for His glory. I believe that we are created to be creative and that God has given each of us unique gifts and talents to reflect Him. I believe that when theatre is done with excellence and the actor’s focus is on Christ rather than self, that’s when God is most glorified in our creativity. I believe that teaching children and showing them at an early age how to use their gifts for God’s glory is vital in this craft.
