Designing a fairy tale

November 14, 2025

Maura Kesterson spends her days, and most of her nights, sewing away in a space underneath Patricia Corbett Theater. “Pretty much anything you can do in the costume department, I’ve done,” Kesterson said. A lifelong seamstress and performer, Kesterson was crafty enough in her career choices to land her at the University of Cincinnati, designing all the colorful costumes for a grand opera, a retelling of the charming story of Cinderella. Kesterson is a master’s degree student studying costume design and technology at UC’s College-Conservatory of Music.
