Tony Awardwinning costume designer and Wing Chairman William Ivey Long serves as our guide as we visit his studio, meet a protégé (Emilio Sosa), and, drop in on his mentor (Willa Kim.) From the sketchbook to the gown, Working In The Theatre bares all in this rare backstage pass to the costume design process. (2014)
