The Milford Daily News writes about Elizabeth Barrett Groth who was nominated last month for a "New York Innovative Theatre Award in outstanding innovative design for a puppet she created"
She credits her education (and a childhood of watching the Muppets) in helping her to find a niche in designing the costumes and sets that help a production cheat reality. In 2010, the former Franklin School for the Performing Arts student earned a master’s in theater design from Yale University School of Drama.
Asked about what prompted her to abandon her acting career, Barrett Groth said she always was fascinated by the costumes and set of a performance, more so than the actors themselves.
"I don’t pretend to be a really great actress," she said. "What I enjoyed the most about acting was putting the costume together before hand — the visual side of things. When I would read a play, I would be more worried about imagining what everything actually looked like than the motivation behind the characters."
