“While all the actors during our time at AUC were running around auditioning, trying to secure a spot on the stage, Nour decided to utilize her talents to tell stories through costume design. We as a generation were lucky to have Nour in our Design Shop creating amazing costumes that help us bring our characters to life.”

“On one occasion, there was an issue that needed to be dealt with, and tensions were running high. The crew was running back and forth, and the director was anxiously yelling. In the midst of it all, I asked her a completely unrelated question about live music during showings. Looking back at it now, it was absolutely not the time to be asking random questions and it would have been completely understandable if she had snapped at me or refused to answer. Nour instead took a pause, gave me an in-depth answer, and resumed her tasks.”

“I can recall a few instances in which special accommodations had to be made—specifically around my unusually large feet—and they were always managed in a timely manner.”

“Then came my dress. I hated my dress and that meant it was perfect for my character as it is something my character would definitely wear.”

Actress, Bride to Be
“Gives the best pep talks before performances but ends them by threatening to murder you if you don’t hang your costumes after the show”
Laila Ghoneim

"Will stitch you up literally and figuratively"

"Her dedication to authentic representation through costume design has resulted in me hating her on a personal level. Over the course of three productions, Nour has consistently styled my facial hair in ways that, while perfect for the role I was playing, have ruined intimate relationships and ended romantic prospects. If I die single and lonely it is most likely her fault."

Actor, Professional Procrastinator
I would not have been able to play this character without Nour. The work she put into what is my favorite costume ive ever worn is what helped me cement who this character is and transform into her night after night. Putting on the costume is what sealed the deal for me. I am lucky that I got to work with her and I am honored I got to wear her work night after night. She made all my corpse bride dreams come true and to top it all off she’s an amazingly sweet human to boot. THANK YOU NOUR <3

I have had the privilege of working with Nour on a number of theatre productions both as an actor and as a volunteer in the Design Shop. She is nothing short of extraordinary. Not only did her ability to innovate come to life in the Design Shop, but also her ability to lead a team. She knows where every needle and thread are meant to go and makes sure you know how to use them in order to bring her vision to life. We were truly lucky to have her designing our costumes!
