Hi, I just found this site and its wonderful finding a group of people going through the same stuff as I am. I am costuming my second play for the local HS. Last year was Hello Dolly and I certainaly learnt alot from my mistakes! This year is once Upon a Matress. A much easier show because it is a fantasy, so no worrying about period corectness. Although it does bother me a bit that the costumes range from medival to elizabethian. I do get a stipend for my work but to me it is the opportunity to express my art. I love designing and making the costumes and seeing them come to life! When I arrived at the first rehersal the kids came running to see the drawings and to find out what they will be wearing. I wasn't sure I really wanted to do it again after the headaches of last year but the kids were so excited I felt honored to be asked again. I am glad to find this forum and know if i get "stuck" there are people out there who can help. Thanks

The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.
