Yvonne Johnson’s costumes do the trick from the very casual wear of most of the steel mill workers to the breakaway costumes of the strippers. My favorite bit of costuming is from the number “The " "Goods” when the women are dressed in the working gear of stereotypically masculine jobs to ogle/deride our wannabe strippers."

"Mrs. Soames, the town gossip, cleverly costumed by designer Johnson in garish attire (suggesting that she belongs to a higher social class)"

"Clothes tell a story & I love exploring that as a form of art"

"It’s always inspiring to be recognized for the hard work and passion you put into a craft you love"

"It’s also all about networking. No one is going to voluntarily come to you unless you’re already established. You need to speak up"

"I want a versatile career in costumes..."

"A fun, colorful collection with class"
