Taped: 10/25/2002. Tony award-winning costume designer Willa Kim discusses her nearly fifty-year career creating costumes for dance and theatre productions, explaining the process of designing costumes for a production from start to finish, the challenge of maintaining a creative relationship with directors and set designers, and what happens to costumes after the shows close. The acclaimed television series 'Women in Theatre' provides a unique look into the lives of some of the gifted women who create and sustain theatre in the United States -- with major directors, designers, actors, lyricists, composers and producers -- conducted by Linda Winer, theatre critic for Newsday. The series' theme song is "The Glamorous Life" from 'A Little Night Music' by Stephen Sondheim, performed by Alex Rybeck, noted pianist and music director.
