In a surprise turn of events Amy Boulton, the costume and set designer this year for my old Universities performing arts society, BU Parts, sent me a message requesting an emergency assist for costume backstage. The show itself is 'Grease' and today is the beggining of show week, the run opening on Wednesday, and so yesterday I ended up spending an 11 hour day back at the University helping with some of the last of the costumes being made, ironing, repairing, adding fastenings and dressing on quick changes for the two dress and tech runs, and assisting with the post show pack down.
It was good to be back with the society, and especially interesting after having some experience backstage on professional and semi profesional shows since graduation to be helping on a University production.
I will be back with them for three nights of the run and with the show selling better then any previous year am greatly looking forward to seeing how it turns out.
