On this episode of Storyweavers, our hosts discuss a mutual appreciation for film scores, as well as the classical and not-so-classical pieces that inspire them. The discussion mainly focuses on well-known composers, but dabbles across a wide range and encompasses the love we have for film scores—because everyone has hummed a tune here or there.
 
Notable Titles and Composers Mentioned: the works of John Williams (“Harry Potter,” “Indiana Jones,” “Star Wars”, “E.T.”, “Jaws”), Danny Elfman (“Edward Scissorhands”), Klaus Badelt (“Pirates of the Caribbean”, "The Promise"), Howard Shore (“Lord of the Rings”), Richard Wagner (“The Ring Cycle” operas), Jerry Goldsmith, Gustav Holst (“The Planets”), John Debney (“Cutthroat Island”), Alexandre Desplat (“Harry Potter”), Hans Zimmer (“Inception,” “Dark Knight,” “Lion King,” “Dunkirk”), Brian Tyler ("Children of Dune"),  Tom Tykwer ("Run Lola Run"), Alan Menken, Frank Ticheli

Storyweavers was joined in-studio this week by the lovely Jennifer Lippert and her adorable puppy Henry (who is entertainingly present throughout). Jennifer is the Costume Designer for the Bloomsburg Theatre Ensemble in Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania.

Jennifer takes us behind-the-scenes into the process and development of creating workable, appropriate, and stunning costumes for the stage. We dive into some of her previous work on productions such as “A Christmas Story,” “Angels in America,” and Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night.”

We also get into BTE’s current production of “Sanctuary City,” which premieres January 20, and how she decided to dress the cast in a post-9/11 inner-city environment.

Links to Jennifer’s and BTE’s socials and websites can be found below. If you’re in the central Pennsylvania area, come out to Bloomsburg and see “Sanctuary City."

The Storyweavers Video Podcast is available on our Patreon page; hop over to watch the in-studio conversation with Jennifer (and Henry).
