Lots of fun stuff

Urinetown is finally up and running (sort of - well at least I have all my assigned roles and costumes pieces to hunt for). The director wants me to wear an Oliver Twist/Newsies like outfit, so I've been watching videos and looking at pictures so I know what to get. Looks like I'll be on the hunt for a patterned button down, straight leg jeans or knickers or something like that, tallish socks, suspenders, and a newsboy cap. I think I'll also get a new pair of jazz shoes because I haven't purchased a new pair in a while (and the ones I have are very destroyed and uncomfortable to dance in).

I also went poking around the downtown and found a brand new alice in wonderland dress! I've wanted one for ages but just didn't find the right fabric and this one fits almost perfect. It just needs a couple darts up the front and a white pinafore - nothing I can't do in more than a few hours. Oh and a giant poofy petticoat (which i have been DYING to purchase for years! Now I will have a reason to wear a 50's dress too!).

In costume lab, I finished the pattern I modified for my partner. Now it is time to just transfer it onto fabric and start pinning and sewing. We are using lots of tools that I have never seen before (like a tracing wheel with little spokey things that are good for marking with wax and through paper). Hopefully I will have photos of my work soon!
