Amy Ing On Spotlight Costumes

Mark Creter sits down with Amy Ing, founder and owner of Spotlight Costumes—based in Cookeville, Tennessee—whose handcrafted costume designs have graced productions from Knoxville’s Bearden High School’s Hamlet to Prescott Middle School’s The Lion King. Hailing from nearby White Bluff, Amy’s passion for theater costuming blossomed into a thriving business offering unique rentals, custom creations, and personal costume sales—all meticulously handmade rather than mass-produced. She recently designed for Aaron Ramsey’s A Night With Molière and is available for consultations by appointment, while her shop welcomes walk-ins from 1–6 pm, Tuesday through Friday.
