Spring 2012 (and Nutcracker!) Preparations

I hope everyone has had a great holiday season and is ready for a new year! We have been very busy down here in the shop the past couple of weeks getting ready for the rest of the season and even for next years new Nutcracker.

Pat Sullivan, Draper, has been very busy patterning, cutting, and fitting new mens coats for Rooster. She is making 18 coats for this production, as well as pants and shirts. She is also making patterns for mock-ups of the design we have from the new Nutcracker.

Ken Busbin, Draper, has been busy as well with Les Sylphides, Rooster, and of course with tutus for the new Nutcracker.

Alexi Weglowski, Head Crafts Person, is busy with Don Quixote, dyeing Etudes fabric, and making mock-ups of new Nutcracker headwear.

It’s never a dull moment in the costume shop!
