DR Miss Karen, I noted you have done costuming work. What shows have you worked on in the theatre?
Strictly community theatre, so I'm no pro, but love it. After 20 years of civic theatre, I've worked on tons of shows, but my favorites have to be children's theatre and period ones:
On the Town -- cause of all the 1950s period stuff (I love working with hats and accessories)
Driving Miss Daisy
Bell, Book and Candle -- cause we did it circa 1960s
Godspell
Tons of melodramas -- western styles and old-timey costumes which are fun to do
Hansel and Gretel
The Hobbit
Stone Soup
Little Hospital of Horrors -- an original musical that we did goth/horror style
The Butterfly -- the play I just completed -- lots of insects
and my most favorite was the one we did this past fall, the musical HONK!
(and I love dressing sets for the same reasons I enjoy costuming -- I think it's important to have an eye for detail -- I believe theatre is a total package and it bugs me to see crappy sets and costumes, and non-profit civic theatre is no excuse -- take the time to do it right) Opps, off the soapbox, Karen, she just wanted to know what plays you've costumed, not your theories on theatre....
