TeSTIMONIALS
“Liv is a truly great assistant, consistently going above and beyond to predict the needs of the designer and the show as a whole. Her wide range of skills, her work ethic, and her positive attitude make her an amazing asset to any team."
-Chelsea Kerl, 2022 Winner, Elliot Norton Award for Outstanding Costume Design - Large Theatre (Boston, MA)
“Liv Curnen assisted me on a Boston Baroque production of Ariodante in April 2025. As my feet on the ground in Boston, Curnen never failed to be anything but brilliant. Her attention to detail, methodical process and proactive decision making were paramount in the success of the production. As a designer nothing is more valuable than an assistant that anticipates your needs and actively works to solve problems.”
-Neil Fortin, MFA Costume Production, owner ThomasFortin Menswear (Bath, UK)
