About Me

Maysie Pyatt grew up in Greytown surrounded by nature and a rural community. She began sewing costumes out of a love of history but quickly grew to adore the dramatics of stage costumes.

Moving to Wellington, she is currently in her final year of studying for a Diploma in Costume Construction at Toi Whakaari Drama School.

During her studies, she’s had the opportunity to work on many different productions around Wellington. Maysie has worked twice with Wellington Opera on La Traviata and Lucia di Lammermoor. She also worked on the G&T Production’s show of Les Misérables and Circa Theatre’s Christmas Pantomime show of Pinocchio. She has enjoyed branching into dancewear when working with the New Zealand School of Dance on their 2022 Graduation season and 2023 Choreographic season.

Maysie has loved advancing her skills and fulfilling different costuming roles on shows. Her future aspirations are to work for productions in a range of areas to continue her learning and growth as a costume maker.
