This morning we had costume fittings at the theatre. Thus far, I have only been to the lobby and as an audience member watching a show. I had little to no idea what was behind it all. Ed, who has been graciously giving me rides, and I saw Geri go up a side door and followed her up a staircase just past the box office. What I saw when I got to the top took my breath away. Imagine the costumes of a theatre thirty years old with around ten shows a year and a good size cast for most of those shows storing all their costumes and accesories in the top wings above the stage. There is a whole room lined with shelves of women's shoes and long rooms with floor to ceiling racks on top of racks of clothes from every kind of time period you can imagine. There were piles of hats, purses, coats, and my favorite, the wig room. While Ed tried on suits I found my way into a back hallway behind another room overlooking the stage and tried on black and red ringlets. Ed tried on the pink bunny slippers and stepped into his role with his lines making the rest of us errupt into fits of laughter. Who knew costume fittings could be so much fun!
