Both yesterday and today were spent purchasing more costumes for our upcoming show. And we were successful! Our director loves them! I'm thrilled to hear that, as I may have mentioned-I am not a costumer. I am a set designer/set painter/props master/stage manager/production manager.
I don't do costumes.
Ever.
But this is an easy one, as my dearest friend (and my partner in theatre-the costumer!!) helped me with the three "queen" costumes. I have the shop teacher working on the two remaining huge hats for the queens and the third one is complete here at home. I have their masks here, and will paint them spectacularly very soon. They will be wearing three identical bouffant blond wigs beneath their hats, further obscuring their individuality.
Now I'm punching out tiny circles for blood droplets...They will glow eerily under the black light. But they will have to be swept up after each performance, as this is killing my arm and there is no way I'm going to keep punching these things out for each show.
The cast is wonderful. Really great kids. And Mushnik is a teacher-Rick-and he's just fantastic. A delight to watch. We're working with Bryan again now. He's our musical director from last years Wizard of Oz. I've missed him so much! It's great to have him back with us. And Shane stopped by today and that's always fun.
All in all, I think things are going well. We have a week and a half-that's practically a life time in theatre. Now we just have to get the plants and the set pieces pulled together.
Easy Peasy.
