Before rehearsal tonight, media and marketing personnel were invited to interview some of the actors and designers working on the show. The costume shop also offered up a preview of their designs for Marie-Therese and Dora:
Marie-Therese Walter, Picasso's lover before Dora, was 17 when she and Picasso first met. In the play, she is young and innocent, and, as Picasso often portrayed her, a Madonna with child. Here, actor Kristen Glaeser, tries on her costume -- soft and yellow and round, like a buttercup.
Costume Designer Emily McQuarrie gives Marie-Therese some pink lip color for her photo shoot.
Unlike Marie-Therese, Dora is dark and sultry. She seduces Picasso with her body and her mind. Cady Ann Smola plays Dora, shown here in black, reclining on the chaise in Picasso's art studio.
