Costumes
Deborah Burke
As President of TPNC, Deborah is learning all sorts of new technology she never wanted to learn to bring live theater direct to your living room during these difficult times. She is bringing actors back to the theater stage, complete with costumes, lighting, and minimal sets... because we MUST have a creative outlet beyond Zoom. We have two major productions scheduled on the upcoming months so stay tuned!
