About Courtney

Courtney Boches graduated with honors from Ithaca College with a B.S. in Communications and minors in Scriptwriting and Business. She has worked for All My Children, Malcolm in the Middle, and in NBC's Entertainment Publicity department and has experience in an agency, writers' office, production, costume design, and production management.

 

Upon returning to Pennsylvania from California, Courtney attended Villanova University and graduated with an M.A. in Theatre. She was awarded a full tuition assistantship to work in Villanova Theatre's costume shop. She appeared on stage as "Trix the Aviatrix" in The Drowsy Chaperone, directed by Villanova University President and Barrymore Award winner Rev. Peter Donohue. For her thesis project, she costume designed the critically-acclaimed creative re-imagining of the morality play Everyman. Upon graduation, she began an internship with William Ivey Long Studios in New York City on the Susan Stroman musical Little Dancer.

 

Courtney works with local theatres and schools as a freelance director, teacher, and designer, working with kids ranging in age from 7 - college. In summer 2017, Courtney had the honor of working with a brand new musical, Dorian Gray, in the New York Musical Festival. With the production as an actor since its initial reading, she was thrilled to reprise her role of Mrs. Amelia Vane (and two smaller roles!) in NYC at the Acorn Theatre and to also serve as costume designer.

 

She currently works a daytime corporate job and professionally as a freelance director and costume designer. She is also a writer and performs locally when time allows.

​

She recently started her own business, Plumfield Arts, which will specialize in direction and design consultation, and is the parent company of Wild Owl Designs. Wild Owl will offer custom costume pieces and accessories, upcycled and custom apparel, and design work.
