After the sesqui-centenary, Thelma remained in Sydney, working for various theatre companies. Her designs for various productions cover a wide range of periods and styles. In the late 1940s, she was appointed designer at Sydney’s Minerva Theatre in King’s Cross, which staged such productions as Pride and Prejudice; The Winslow Boy; Ah, Wilderness and The Philadelphia Story.
The latter was staged in 1948, with a cast of fourteen, many of whom needed multiple costumes. At the beginning of the second act, Tracy wears a housecoat over the foundation of an evening dress, which is the costume for the next scene.
