Each design identified by the artist at lower right in pencil. On light wove paper. Sheet size 270 x 350 mm. Perdziola was the costume and scenic designer for a production of Mrs. Warren's Profession at the Washington Theater in Washington, D.C. in 2010.

Chris Klimek, review in the Washington Examiner, June 24, 2010 Perdziola, an internationally-recognized set and costume designer for theater, opera, and ballet, has worked extensively throughout the United States at such venues as the Metropolitan Opera, San Francisco Opera, Santa Fe Opera, Lyric Theatre of Chicago, American Ballet Theater, Shakespeare Theater in Washington, Boston Ballet, and Miami Ballet, as well as for various Broadway productions. He has also worked internationally for productions at the Monte Carlo Opera, the Niedersächsische Staatsorchester in Hannover, the Garsington Opera in the United Kingdom, the Finnish National Ballet, the Saito Kinen Festival in Japan, and the Sydney Opera House. The artist has received three Helen Hayes awards and a Helpmann award; he has also been nominated for numerous additional awards. …
