In this episode, we caught up with costume designer and BFA alum John Polles. John is currently working with the Santa Fe Opera, and he has also recently worked with the Julliard School and Baltimore Center Stage.

John and I talked a lot about his work on Mr. Burns: A Post-Electric Play, so here is a link where you can see all of his designs for that show: https://www.flickr.com/photos/olemisstheatre/albums/72157706832283355
