RICHARD ITCZAK
COSTUME DESIGNER
Having worked on several of Theater UnCorked’s seasons, Richard is thrilled to be part of the Theater UnCorked family! Forty five years ago Richard, because he could draw the human figure, decided he’d like to become a motion picture animator. Then he discovered actors and directors! So, his “pursuit of the picture that cones to life” took a slightly different turn! That’s why he loves costume design. It’s been a great life and he’s never regretted it!
