Description
-
Prof. Gail Argetsinger recounts her experiences designing costumes for the Hill Cumorah Pageant from the late 1970s to 1997. She first joined the Pageant administration when Jack Sederholm replaced Harold Hansen as director. Argetsinger designed new costumes, and what was intended to be a brief assignment continued for years, including after the 1988 launch of the “New Pageant.” Topics discussed in the interview include the logistics of Pageant costume design and construction, Argetsinger’s belief that the Pageant had run its course, Argetsinger’s disappointment that the costumes she made were later altered, and her testimony that miracles occurred during the Pageant.
