The "Artistic Director" was a man named David MacCauley. He was a good Director for Rep...competent and not too creative.

My initial concept for A MIDSUMMER NIGHTS DREAM was to stage it as a gypsy troupe might, with rag-tag costumes and found (ie: stolen) accessories.

Hence the sketches I submited to MacCauley above.

He didn't get it.

"Traditional Costuming" was all I ever got from him...I have to admit that I was young and spoiled by the Ultra Creative environment I had just been a part of, but I girded my lions and delivered what was required. I did manage to have some influence over the staging of the show however...
