Barbara Josefsberg
Barbara sings and sews. Originally from Wisconsin, Barbara has lived in southern California for 20-plus years, and has run her own business making medical pressure garments for most of that time. Costuming and making clothing has always been a love; she has experience costuming for the Goldensands Chorus, Reveille Quartet, Star Carolers (Victorian carolers), and The Music Man. She has sung soprano and alto in many choral performances, originally with the Milwaukee Symphony, and presently with Southern California Master Chorale and Meritage Singers. She is also a two-time regional barbershop quartet medallist. For LBSC's Richard Goad Theatre, she designed and built the costumes for The Gondoliers, The Importance of Being Ernest, The Maltese Falcon, Love's Labour's Lost, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and A Christmas Carol, to name a few recent productions, and assisted with costumes for Cyrano de Bergerac and Richard III. For our annual summer festival, she has designed costumes for A Comedy of Errors, A Midsummer Night's Dream, and Julius Caesar. Barbara sings with the vocal ensemble "Anon and Beyond," and has performed with that group for LBSC functions.
