A versatile and accomplished scenic painter, scenic and costume designer, freelance artist, and photographer: August brings a unique blend of creativity and expertise to every project. Hailing from the picturesque landscapes of the Rural Midwest, August's passion for art and design has been nurtured and honed throughout their journey.


Currently fresh off of graduating from Sweet Briar College with a Bachelor’s of Arts in Performing Arts: Theatre, August has demonstrated an exceptional talent and dedication to their craft. Their academic pursuits have not only equipped them with a solid foundation in theatrical arts but have also fueled their artistic exploration and innovation.

We are thrilled for August to join both our YAS! team as a Teaching Artist and to design costumes and makeup for Shrek JR!
