Helene Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Edit Whitsett was one of the great scene painters in Seattle, and she also did original designs. The last of hers I saw was the set/costume design for Bruce Wells' "Snow White" last year. Room 104 & Seattle Children's Theatre present this exhibit of her work through 30 May, Tuesday-Friday 3:30-5:30pm at Seattle Children's Theatre's Charlotte Martin Theatre Upper Lobby (201 Thomas Street). http://room104gallery.com/special-event Link to comment
Joseph Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 This looks really cool - It would be great if she published a book of these designs... Link to comment
Helene Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 Ms. Whitsett died in December 2011, far too young. This is a short article from "The Stranger" at that time: http://slog.thestranger.com/slog/archives/2011/12/02/seattle-theater-loses-one-of-its-great-talents It would be great if these were made into a book in her memory.
