This is Karsen's second season with SSMT, and she is absolutely thrilled to be returning to design such a nostalgic, magnetic, and timeless show.  As a passionate costume designer, puppet designer, and theatre design educator, Karsen is currently appointed as the Assistant Professor of Costume Design at Wake Forest University.  In addition to Karsen's educational endeavors, she also has a passion for pursuing professional design work, with some of her recent design credits including: Clyde's with Maryland Ensemble Theatre,  Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley with Davidson Community Players, and Escape to Margaritaville with The Barn Theatre in Michigan.  When she is not drawing, stitching, or painting, Karsen can be found doing crossword puzzles and caring for her two very dramatic cats.
