Recent release "Forgotten Designers: Costume Designers of American Broadway Revues and Musicals From 1900-1930" from Page Publishing authors Delbert and Ione Unruh spans three decades of theatre designers and their designs.
LAWRENCE, Kan., Nov. 21, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "Forgotten Designers: Costume Designers of American Broadway Revues and Musicals From 1900-1930" is the result of research conducted by Delbert Unruh, a professor emeritus at the University of Kansas and author of six books on American and European design, and Ione Unruh, the author of four monographs about current designers in their prime.
"In addition to our academic work, we are both active in the theater community across the nation," Delbert Unruh said when asked what inspired this work. "I've been working as a sets and lighting designer in the Professional, Regional, and Academic Theatre since 1969."
Published by New York City-based Page Publishing, Ione and Delbert Unruh's collection of well-researched collection of facts and figures is accompanied by color copies of originals illustrations, and includes photographs from the era, providing readers with a thorough understanding of the subject matter.
"Theatre is a part of me," Ione Unruh said. "I hold a BA in Theatre from the University of Montana, and an MFA in design from the University of Oklahoma. But I've also been a freelance costume designer for forty years."
