Eleanor Schanilec’s experiences as a designer, stitcher, costume craft person, and wardrobe supervisor enable her to approach her costumes with not only a knowledge of the entire process, but also with an intimate understanding of characters and how they serve the plot through her writing.

Eleanor has collaborated with The Children’s Theatre, Shakespeare Youth Theatre, Mixed Blood Threatre, Commonweal Theatre, Six Points Theatre, and many more in the Twin Cities and greater Minnesota area. She’s also one of the co-founders of The Costume Collective MN.
