Next date: Thursday, May 09, 2024 | 06:30 PM to 07:30 PM

The Manchester Public Library is pleased to host Keith Nielsen, costume designer for multiple Hallmark movies as well as various TV, film, and theater productions for “In Conversation with Keith Costumes” on Thursday, May 9, 2024 at 6:30 p.m. at the Whiton Branch Library on 100 North Main Street.

 

Nielsen, a Manchester resident now based in New York City, has worked on costume design for the Hallmark Channel’s A Merry Scottish Christmas, Where Are You Christmas?, A Biltmore Christmas, and Mystic Christmas, the latter of which is set in Mystic, Connecticut. He also designed costumes for the Amazon Prime TV series Mozart in the Jungle, the Westchester Broadway Theater, and other TV, film, and theater productions. With over 32 design credits to his name, he has draped the glittering stars of Hollywood in his exquisite creations, from the illustrious Christopher Lloyd to the captivating Ann-Margret. The spotlight of his genius has also graced the Radio City Rockettes, casting them in a dazzling array of 1950s attire that captivated audiences in 2022’s A Holiday Spectacular. In a panel moderated by his former art teacher Sharon Cavanaugh of the Connecticut Art School, Keith will talk about his experiences designing costumes and will also share sketches, video, pictures, and costumes he’s created. A Q&A session will follow the panel.
