When not working an acting contract, Joelle can commonly be found working gig to gig at various theatres doing various wig design and/or supervision. Joelle upkeeps the theatrical wigs during the contract: resetting, cleaning, styling, and ensuring their integrity. Often, wig designers will even consult with Joelle's team regarding styling decisions.

 

Theatrical wigs can be an investment for any theatre that can range anywhere from $70/a head to upwards of thousands for a custom hand-wefted piece. Wig teams work in extension with costume and wardrobe as extra insurance regarding the integrity of the hand-made pieces during a run of a show. Any gaps in Joelle's resumé were most likely filled with an extra production, where Joelle was on the wigs' tech team.
