Shopping Spree
The show's going surprisingly well, though I have to make yet another trip into the city to finish shopping. Trims this time--the pricing part of any show. Today was another marathon day of driving through rush hour traffic, dodging little children mulling about the mall and shuffling through overstuffed racks. It's funny how the second round of shopping usually yields the better results. Let's hope the pants fit the actor this time. All I'm saying is the costume shop will not need to be doing any special padding for the bachelorette party scene.
The character playing Audrey's father is looking more feminine every time we have him in for a fitting. When I saw the cast list I groaned at the actor they chose--a larger, very masculine man. Extra attention was placed on the undergarments, which turned out looking very natural, and not terribly garish under the clothing. The dresses flatter as best they can (and the one both he and his daughter wear looks stunning one the daughter). In the fitting, the actor very quickly gets into character. His hands flutter lightly, He stands a little more upright, chest slightly foreword, with a look on his face that seems to say "I thought I could be prettier than this." Just two weeks left until the show moves into tech. We're actually in a pretty good spot...until you realize we loose three days to Thanksgiving.
No wallet yet, though I did finally check the car I was in the last time I had it...to no avail. Nine hours of sleep last night...roughly the same amount as the rest of the week combined. Once I make it through Thanksgiving, the light at the end of the tunnel will reveal itself. I already have the plane ticket.

Are we going to get to see video of this show? If not I'd love to read it, and I can't wait to see pictures of your work. It sounds like a real challenge, but no doubt you're able to meet it perfectly. (You should have seen the costumes at Concordia's recent production of Joseph. Jeans and tennis shoes are a choice I guess. I mean its a choice because everyone's wearing them.) The influence of living with 2 costume designers was clearly a part of my reaction to the show!
