Dr. Seuss’s How the Grinch Stole Christmas revolves around the miserly Grinch's infamous change of heart about Christmas celebrations and his neighbors down in Whoville. But backstage at Children's Theatre Company (CTC), another big change happens for every performance of this holiday play: actor Reed Sigmund transforms into the red-eyed, green-skinned Grinch with the help of make-up, a wig, and other technical theater magic.

I've always loved stories. You can tell such beautiful and emotional stories in the theatre. I love wardrobe because while we are members of the crew, we work so closely with the actors. We bridge both groups.
