Promises, Promises.

So promises are hard to keep here on the blog- it seems there is never enough time to do it all. I'm finally getting around to that promise I made to you folks about an inside look. You see my other job with True Colors is Wardrobe- a position that allows me to see so many ends of putting a production together. Its been a very busy two weeks in my department but I have had you in mind all along- you could say I’ve been simmering with news. Talks with Associate Artistic Director, Todd Kreidler about the future of True Colors, and an early look at Jitney are on their way.

My job calls for me to be at the theater long before anyone else arrives and long after they’ve left. I see the good and bad days, the warm-ups- I see the show grow. The basis of what I do is maintaining costumes for each performance- since arriving on the show, I’ve been hurled into the world of costumes and clothes- sewing, hemming, tacking- all in a mad rush for Opening Night.

To catch you up on things- I saw the show about two weeks ago. The first word that came to mind when the performance ended was: moving. I found it magical in a way we have not seen since Amen Corner or Ceremonies in Dark Old Men. I don’t think there is much more I can say than what has already been said both here on the blog and in reviews, other than this is one you might just have to see yourself.

More to come next week so stay close- don’t go to far away.
