Alissa Herbert | Wardrobe Manager

Alissa has been part of the State Street Ballet family for over a decade. She first served as Costume Manager for the State Street Ballet Academy and apprenticed under Nicole Thompson before stepping into her current role as Wardrobe Manager for the company. Over the years, she has contributed to costume design and construction for productions including Sleeping Beauty, The Nutcracker, and The Brilliance Program. She has also built costumes for UCSB's Dance Company. Alissa loves the challenge and privilege of bringing the artistry of ballet to life through costume. In addition to her work in the theater, she is also a full-time midwife in town—and when she finds a quiet moment, you’ll often find her hand sewing.
