Abstract
This thesis describes the process I used to research, draw, paint and finally design the costumes for Temple University's theatrical production of Pudd'nhead Wilson written by Charles Smith. I present the differences between the novel by Mark Twain and the script by Charles Smith. The early design process is then described including meetings with the director Doug Wager, the scenic designer Ian P. Guzzone and the lighting designer Christopher Hetherington. My preliminary costume research is illustrated in the text and the accompanying appendices followed by full color gouache renderings. I discuss the creation of the costumes from first fittings through final dress rehearsal and the challenges that were overcome. A separate chapter, including costume and make-up design, is dedicated to the controversial character of The Minstrel. Finally, the conclusion contains images enabling the reader to visualize the design of each character from preliminary collage, rendering and finally a production photo. These are combined with my thoughts and reflections on the final designs.
