The Golden Dragon
by Roland Schimmelpfennig
The Golden Dragon centers around a Pan-Asian fast food restaurant and the people living around it. Actors each portray multiple characters from the intertwining story lines and were cast disregarding their gender, race, and age. For this reason, costume pieces had to be selected in order to make transitions between those character as seamless as possible, as actors changed between character without leaving the stage, sometimes even within a scene. I designed the costumes to read as uniforms with costume pieces essentially serving as props to help distinguish the different characters each actor portrayed.
