I’m Michael T. Costain, a Wig-master with 20+ years of experience in NYC. I’ve worked with the New York City Opera, Broadway, and regional theaters, designing for award-winning productions like “Guys and Dolls” and “Prides Crossing.” I excel in large projects on limited budgets without compromising quality. Equipped with tools, materials, and a vast wig stock, I’m ready to collaborate with ambitious production companies and individuals. Attached is my production resume and examples of my work. Looking forward to connecting. Regards, Michael T. Costain

Non-surgical hair restoration offers a transformative solution for individuals experiencing hair loss, providing a non-invasive alternative to traditional hair transplants.

Wigs are a crucial element in theater, serving as powerful tools for character transformation and storytelling. They help actors physically embody their roles by altering their appearance, providing a visual cue that distinguishes one character from another. Wigs enable the portrayal of different time periods, social classes, and personalities, enhancing the authenticity of the production.
Masks have been essential in theater and Broadway for centuries, allowing actors to transform into various characters. In ancient Greek theater, they amplified voices and conveyed emotion, while in modern productions, they enhance storytelling and visual impact. Masks enable performers to embody fantastical or exaggerated roles, deepening the audience’s experience. They symbolize the fusion of art and identity, offering creative possibilities for directors, designers, and actors alike, while adding dramatic flair to performances
Wigs are a cornerstone of drag fashion, offering performers the ability to craft bold, transformative looks that define their personas. In drag, wigs aren’t just accessories—they’re essential elements of self-expression, allowing queens and kings to embody heightened versions of glamour, camp, or fantasy. With vibrant colors, exaggerated styles, and elaborate designs, wigs help convey the larger-than-life presence that defines drag performance.
