Recommendations & Testimonials
“Nora was a vital part of the small team I had to complete the costume design for Macbeth. She dedicated her time, energy and artistic input to the company. Nora is a competent sewer and takes direction very well. I will gladly bring Nora on to any project I work on with Montana Shakespeare in the future. She will be a highly sought-after employee to theatre companies in her future professional career, and I personally cannot wait to see where she goes.” - Jordan Draper, Costume Designer, Montana Shakespeare in the Schools Macbeth 2022
"One of my favorite things about this show was seeing Nora's design and execution of the infamous 'curtain' costumes the children wear for play clothes in the production. She created a concept and design, obtained the fabric, sewed the costumes and made alterations all on her own. A remarkably ambitious project to say the least." - Stacie McKiernan, Artistic Director, Gallatin High School Theatre
"Nora is an amazing resource for the Bozeman theater community. When she volunteered to serve as the costumer for Verge's big musical, I was so excited. Her professionalism, punctuality and creativity are outstanding - and all at such a tender age. This young woman is going places! Hire her now...once she gets an Oscar and a Tony, you'll be waiting in a much longer line." - Hilary Parker, Executive Director, Verge Theater
"It is easy for me to recommend Nora - not only does she enjoy tackling a variety of sewing projects, but her impressive talent, high standards and attention to detail result in a beautiful outcome." - Terri Narotzky, Bozeman
"I had need of Nora's seamstress skills on two occasions and was immensely pleased with the results of her handiwork on both projects. I was impressed with the accuracy of the required dimensions and the overall quality of stitching." - Timothy Hills, Bozeman
