I just finished up with a production of Newsies and all I can say is, WOW. It was an amazing show! Our production team and performers really stepped it up and the hard work definitely paid off. We had a cast of about 90 kids which is much larger than our normal cast and so […]
Amazing Mayzie Costume
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 […]
