"Unhand my foot, sir!"

Ah yes, Vokes has started work on costumes again - and there are 2 and a half weeks until they need to be finished. As I mentioned before, they are doing On the Razzle which has a plot similar to Hello Dolly! only minus the character of Dolly. I went yesterday to help Elizabeth figure things out. We have a cast of roughly fifteen and that means there are a ton of required costumes. One big joke within the show is that Macbeth has just opened so there is a big Scottish craze sweeping Vienna (where the show is set) and thus everyone wants a plaid outfit (which causes confusion and mistaken identities among all the characters). Sadly, plaid is difficult to come by (and hard to match). We have three plaid capes from the last production and so we are trying to match them. If anyone has any extra plaid material, let me know.

Because we need soooo much plaid, I get to help with sewing for this show! Mom fixed her machine last night (phew) and now I can sew again. I'm sewing a kilt for a Scottish man within the next few days. I'll also probably sew a couple skirts for the ladies (the era is 1890's or so). There is so much to do for this show!!
