labricoleuseJust a quick update on this final night of what has been a wonderful tech for The Importance of Being Earnest (which begins previews this week and opens Saturday night):
I'm going to be joining director Matthew Arbour and costume designer Anne Kennedy for "It's All in the Details," a special presentation on the costume creation for the show tomorrow night--Monday March 1st--at McIntyre's Fine Books in Pittsboro. We'll be talking about the production process, on taking a show from concept to design to reality from a costume perspective. The event will include a display of some of the costume renderings and research, and I'll even be bringing some millinery for attendees to see up close!
This (free!) event begins at 7pm at the bookshop. If you live in the area, please drop by!
I have to say, i caught the beginning of tonight's run-through, and this production is going to be absolutely stellar. I'm not just cheering for the home team there either--i tend to be hypercritical of productions of Wilde plays because it's so easy for them to just ride on the text, even with low-level production values. This production features one of the coolest sets i've seen, conceptually, and the costumes are just plain spectacular. The hats in this show are the best of the season, and that's really saying something in a roster that included Nicholas Nickleby, where millinery is a vital part of the plot.
