Sig Moser (Costume Designer) Based in Montreal, I have worked in both conventional and alternative theatre environments.  Always looking to add that final touch to any idea or theme. With experience in both large and small teams I excel when a challenge is presented by finding the best solution to any situation.
I have a personal creative style that sits somewhere between hard rock, horror, Muppets and My Little Pony.  I have also worked frequently with design concepts outside of my own using my uncommon problem solving nature to complete someone else’s vision.

Elisabeth keeps an excel spreadsheet of all past project involvements, and is happy to share with interested parties upon request. However, this will be the first time working on a show that purposefully blows past midnight! So thanks to everyone who’s kept showing up, and thanks to the audience members who are showing up for the first time.
