Faces, Exhibit I: The Costume Designer

BUT WHAT ABOUT THE CREW, BRIES?!?!

Glad you asked. Let's hop over to that side for a hot second. You know all about those actor-type people, but let me relay the tale of a mystical person know as the Costume Designer. You see, there's a person in this process (let's refer to her as Carla Hamilton, eh?) who took a whole bunch of the ideas in my head, went away with them for a few weeks and then came back to return them all perfectly realized in clothing form. Those mysterious weeks may never be fully explained, but I tend to think Carla has some sort of magic loom that can translate Bries. And let me tell you, that's ruhhhl heavy magic. Or maybe she's got a Rumplestiltskin hanging out at her place. That's what he did, right? Spin nothing into a whole lot of something? Then again, it could be that she's a supercool Costume Designer and is just very, very good at her job.

Sure, if we're gonna get technical, the last answer's the correct one, but in the long run, it's just more fun to pretend it's all of the above. I mean, can you imagine the resale value on a Rumplestiltskin? Yeah, think about that...






















"Carla is tickled to be working with The Nine! She graduated with a degree in psychology, but has found that she cannot stay away from theatre. She is now pursuing costuming in the city. Carla spent last summer sewing for the Black Hills Playhouse in South Dakota and recently finished designing for Goat Song Theatre's 'The Balcony.'"
