Margaret Wenk-Kuchlbauer began her career at the University of Iowa in fall 1980 and in the 44 years since, has designed scenery and costumes for an extensive list of performances for the School of Music, Department of Dance, and Department of Theatre Arts.

As her June 3 retirement nears, Wenk-Kuchlbauer selected this photo gallery of some of her most favorite designs.

“What a lucky, lucky person I am to have been able to do these art forms in a place that fosters students' growth and experience in the performing arts,” she says.
