If you’re looking for an easy way to make a Mayzie La Bird costume, read on! I made this costume years ago and it’s held up beautifully through four separate productions. First I bought an a-line style red dress at a thrift shop. Then I bought some sequined fabric in red and purple and cut […]
How to Make a Gertrude McFuzz Costume
I’m almost at the end of my production of Seussical so I’m sharing how to make an easy Gertrude McFuzz costume complete with an on-stage growing tail. It’s probably easier for me to talk you through it so I’ve posted a video below as well as links to everything I used on Amazon. Enjoy! […]
Side Show
What an amazing run of Side Show we had! This show is rarely produced and to be honest, I hadn’t even heard of it when my partner suggested we do it. But wow, what a story. Here’s the synopsis: “Based on the true story of conjoined twins and famed entertainers Violet and Daisy Hilton, Side […]
The Addams Family Costumes
I finally have my garage back now that I’ve cleaned and returned all of the costumes from my crazy 2-production January. But before I returned them, I filmed a little video to walk you through what I had for each character in Addams Family. Since this show is newer, I did a ton of research […]
The Addams Family (Video)
Check out the new promo video I cut together for my company’s production of The Addams Family! Come see these amazingly talented kids January 10-13th at the El Dorado Performing Arts Center.
Once Upon A Mattress
Once Upon A Mattress came and went and it was a fabulous production. Our Summer show tends to get less performers than our Fall and Spring shows so budget-wise I’m always nervous, but we ended up with a decent cast size and were able to secure a smaller theater so our costs were kept way […]
School of Rock
I just wrapped an amazing production of School of Rock! This production was so special for a few reasons. One, the show is still on Broadway. they never release the rights to shows until they’ve finished their Broadway run. Two, we had a live band and the performers all had to play their own instruments! […]
Violet Beauregarde On-Stage Inflation
So many of you have asked for it, so here it is! I finally had some time while baby girl was napping to search for the video I took of our Violet Beauregarde inflating on stage. Hope this helps anyone producing this show in the future and saves you the many sleepless nights I had about […]
Lion King Jr
I just wrapped up production on Lion King Jr for Travis Ranch Elementary. What a fantastic show! We produce this show for our local elementary every year and it’s always a fun and challenging experience. For the most part, the kids that participate in this show are not theatre kids so it’s really fun to […]
Annie
I just closed on a production of Annie for my theatre company and thought I’d share some photos and the promo video! We weren’t especially excited to produce this one, mostly because it’s so overdone, but we figured it was time. We were pleasantly surprised! This show is great for youth theatre’s because there are SO […]
