Sherri Milburn - Costume Designer/Set Decorator girl from Goderich, Sherri found herself fresh out of col- lege working in the wardrobe department of the Stratford festival. After 2 seasons, Sherri stopped to have a family, i+eturning after 10 years to the comforting atmosphere of he Blyth Festival and staying for 7 seasons, even while moving to Woodstock.

A return to Stratford in decorating followed, furthering liherri's education, which then benefited numerous pro- ductions at the Woodstock Little Theatre and the Goderich Little Theatre.
