For the past year I have been the costume designer for Wolf Creek Players, a small community theatre in Dysart Iowa. This past February we staged a performance of Alice in Wonderland based on the 1915 Alice Gerstenberg adaptation of the story by Lewis Carroll. It was the first time Alice in Wonderland was performed on Broadway.

This was my last contribution to this theatre. The costuming was a great challenge given a limited budget and, as can be expected, time constraints. But the task was an enjoyable one and the finished garments were quite stunning, if I may say so. The role of the costume in a theatrical production is to help transform the actor into their character. I think I did my job.

I love your costumes! So much fun, and they look like they were effective at a distance. I wish I could have been there!
ReplyDeleteThank you Deb. That is a great compliment coming from you.
DeleteWhat great costumes! I bet you had a lot of fun working on this play - it shows!
ReplyDeleteThank you Janie. I thoroughly enjoyed designing and sewing these costumes. Sewing is something I don't normally do for myself much these days so the costuming filled in that gap.
DeleteLovely costumes! I'm sure they were greatly appreciated. That was a mammoth undertaking - congratulations.
