The show opens with preview on Thursday. "The Highest Calling?" is it's title, an original piece by Jeff Taylor--a prof at NWC. I'm the costume designer. I have put in so much work that I am intimately connected with these costumes. I'm emotionally involved with them, I love the costumes and have enjoyed this process so much. I hope that others have enjoyed it, or at least not hated the process--especially my team that I've worked so closely with.
I'm sorry if I make you mad, but I just want this show to be so beautiful! I want it to be what we've all dreamed about and worked so hard to achieve. I want it to have the result that Mr. T has been yearning for since he birthed the idea of writing this play. Strengths and weaknesses have been made aparent, mine and others. But where is the love? Are we not to show Christ to each other? What about grace? I'm not saying that I deserve any of it. I've been trying hard to show that in working with my crew. I've been doing my best to be a good leader and let other people take care of their responsibilities and offer help and encouragement if they need it. But I can't do it all, that's why I decided to have a team--that's why you all are necessary. Theatre is collaborative. I just want you all to look good, that's all I've ever wanted. My job is to make others look good, to be comfortable in their character's skin, and to help tell this story. That's what I want to do with my life. I'm sorry if you don't, but please, don't make me cry. Don't make me feel bad, like I've let you down, like I'm the villian here, because I am not. Please, lets just put on a beautiful show.
In Christ's Love. To the King.

It's hard to be in charge of things sometimes. I'm sure the costumes will be beautiful. I'm looking forward to seeing the show and seeing the actors wearing your hard work.
Hope you don't care that I found you! It's a small blog world.
Chin up, pretty.
Britta! I have to tell you the production was wonderful! It made me laugh, cry and everything in between! Your designs were wonderful, fit so well with the settings or the play! God has truly given you a gift!
