Godspell Returns

I posted a few weeks ago about finishing up a project working as the costume designer for a local production of the Broadway musical, Godspell. Well, I’m back at it since, due to popular demand, we are running the show once again in just a few short weeks…June 19-21. If you are in the area and missed it the first time you won’t want to miss it again. I can’t wait.
The costumes were, for the most part, made up from many trips to the thrift store and lots of refashioning/upcycling. Sleeves were cut off of sweaters to make legwarmers, lots of slashing, safety pinning, Sharpie scripture writing on blue jeans as well as hand painting on jeans, adding sleeves, removing sleeves, making arm warmers from stripey socks and “jewelry” from old wool earwarmers. It was great fun to come up with a slightly crazy, boho, vagabond look for the characters and I’m enjoying a second chance at creating a second set of costumes for each one for future shows. While I thought this job was behind me, I’m looking forward to seeing it run as long as it continues to bless.
