We had fitting today for about half the cast, it went VERY well. Everyone is enthusiastic, even those whose costumes are not quite ready for a fitting, or only had a half fitting. It was nice to see so many happy faces, and have such positive feed back. To have ones work appreciated makes the hard work tolerable to say the least.
Ageon, was amazing, all the female rolls looked great. Sorry to the Antipholouses/Dromios. I just did not have time to get your pieces prepared. And after all, your only leads, right? LOL, as if your costumes are the most important!! Actually i am just a bit behind, and will have big stuff for you this week, in addition to the minor paltry props, i have offered to produce, (money bags, waves, jewellery).
I did have the honor to sit in for a bit of rehearsal as well. It is one of our great pleasures to have cast in the building rehearsing, and be able to pop over and drop in on rehearsals to check it out!! it is so inspirational for us to see the progress and LAUGH!! The show looks amazing , and the cast is amazing and everything is just AMAZING!! Unfortunately we tend to feel a bit isolated from the production, working all day in the ateleir, and not interacting with the rest of the staff/cast, and attending a read thru brings us back into the loop. I wish you all were here with me everyday to keep the fire going inside.
Tonight is the close of Much Ado, but i am just to exhausted to go, so sorry Kit and Cast. I know you all have worked so hard, but because of costuming Comedy of Errors, i am tired. Not just tired, burned. Not just the actual building, but also the conceptual work can be draining. We seriously need to expand our staff at the workshop to prevent burnout. Which compounded with the back to school rush at home, and it is starting to take its toll. I really could use a few days off, but don' see much of a break until the 14th.
Coming this week- more pants(new harem) for George, who is on his way to choreograph in Japan for the J-pop scene (please take me with, they REALLY need some good costumes!)
