Designing Woman
It is so great to finally have a face connected with the wonderful Victoria Profitt (“Creating a Set That’s in Character,” by Daryl H. Miller, Sept. 23). She is no longer just the name of an “angel in the night.”
I had heard she could work a miracle if needed. I called her in the middle of the night crying for stairs to help actors onto an existing set at the Pasadena Playhouse for “The Baker’s Wife” presented by the Musical Theatre Guild last year. By the time I got to the theater the next morning for rehearsal, Profitt had delivered and installed freshly made carpeted stairs for my cast--and left no bill. When I called her, she said she was just happy to help us out.
I truly hope, after seeing so many of her great sets in town (particularly “The Swan” at Pacific Resident Theatre) that her reward will not be just in heaven. Hopefully, larger productions will hire her--her kind of passion fuels great shows.
