Ann R. Emo

Ann started her career in New York City after she received her M.F.A. from NYU Tisch School of the Arts. She worked in the New York City area for many years, designing costumes for stage,
dance, film, and opera. She was the resident costume designer for the Theater and Dance Alliance (TADA), a children's theater organization whose performers are children and young
adults.

After moving to Buffalo in the early 1990s, Ann continued her work as a costume designer and technician with designs for over 10 productions for Studio Arena in Buffalo, co-productions with
Syracuse Stage, several productions for GEVA Theater Center in Rochester, NY and locally at the Theater of Youth (TOY), Shakespeare in Delaware Park, Kavinoky, Irish Classical Theatre
Company and the Jewish Repertory Theater. She is thrilled to add Alleyway Theatre to that list.

Until July 2022, Ann held the position of Full Professor and Chair of the Theater Department at Buffalo State University where she taught Costume Design, Stage Make-up and Technical Theater. In addition to course work and design, Ann mentored students in Independent Study projects and supervises Internships. She continues to be deeply committed to experiential learning, collaborative opportunities and the power of the arts for active communication.
