Ashlynn C. Cox
While studying theatre performance at Susquehanna University, I got a job that changed the course of my future. A part time job in the costume shop turned into a passion for costume design. Once I discovered my love for costuming I took every class I could and worked hard to improve my craft. Since then I have been promoted to the position of Wardrobe Supervisor and have been hired by a variety of other professional theatres.
