What is your role in the show? I’m the Costume Designer. After making mood boards and sketches to get ideas out, I pull costumes from the costume bank, as well as from our actors’ wardrobes in some cases. I thrift some costumes, and head a team of stitchers to modify costumes to fit, and make a couple of unique pieces from scratch. My role also involves choosing hairstyles, makeup, jewelry, and nails. During the run, I wash costumes every three nights or so. Maybe I’ll meet Walter this time?

Have you been involved with Walterdale Theatre before? I’ve designed costumes for The Penelopiad before!

What do you think is the best season for a wedding? Early fall. The weather is more stable by then, and the natural light is nice and flattering for photos.

Tell us a funny short story about something going wrong at a wedding. My youngest cousin, Matthieu, then a child, didn’t know what a jello shot was at a family wedding, and ate one with a spoon…

Why should audiences come to see Stag and Doe? It’s a show that simultaneously gives a good, hard, critical look at the Wedding Industrial Complex, and still very much believes in love!

Meet the Team of STAG AND DOE! Brooke Emberly is Co-Master Painter!

Who are you? Brooke Emberly

What is your role in the show? What does that involve? Co-Master Painter. I report to and assist the Master Painter directly, helping to lead the team. I am also acting as a Mentor to the Master Painter on this show.

Have you been involved with Walterdale Theatre before? How? Yes, I am the Head of the Paint Department for the Walterdale Theatre, and have been a Master Painter for 16 shows over the past several years, while assisting on many more.

What do you think is the best season for a wedding? Late May/early June, when the weather is warm, but not scorching hot.

Tell us a funny short story about something going wrong at a wedding. At my wedding, we couldn’t hear the music used for walking down the isle from where we were standing, so even though I had it all planned out, we just stood back there for a long while, waiting for the music to begin, and then had to rush in, last second!

Why should audiences come to see Stag and Doe? Not only are you supporting Community theatre in Edmonton, but you get to reap the benefits of so many volunteers that do arts for the sake of loving the arts!
