Jeanna DiPaolo ’21 Wins Scholarship

Congratulations to costume design student Jeanna DiPaolo ’21, who’s been named by the Theatre Communications Group (TCG) as the recipient of the Willa Kim Costume Design Scholarship 2020.

The Averill Park, NY native grew up mesmerized by old Hollywood movies. She started by sewing outfits for her dolls, then began making costumes for school plays. “The combination and interaction of art, history, fashion, and human behavior influences every character she designs,” writes americantheatre.org.
