This week has been fraught with a mix of the good and the bad. The good - all the costumes and bags/luggage are sourced and under budget! This has been a mix of Ebay and Amazon purchaches, borrowing and sourcing from my own collection. There remains only 2 duffel bags for me to finish making (more on this to come) and Nick's belt to finish.
In the not so good news - two of our cast members have had to withdraw. Joscelyn and Richard. Thankfully for Joscelyn there were only two parts to her costume that I sourced that were not from her wardrobe and they are being used now among the rest of the cast in case of problems, but Richards presents us with some interesting issues. The majority of the costume is past the return date and while most of it would not fit the other performers builds there is nothing that can really be split among the others. I am therefore trying to find out what I can still return, and the rest will wait until the costume parade on the first day of rehearsals to see what can be done.
However, there may be a solution - with our newest cast member Jay. Up until now it has been agreed that Jay's costume will be sourced entirely from his wardrobe, and I have had meetings with Jay and gone over his wardrobe to contruct a costume from his own clothes. Now that Richard has left the cast though, there is the possibility of putting Jay, at least in part, in Richards costume. This all depends on whether they are the same or of a similar size, so this will have to, in part, wait until the costume parade on the first day. One thing we have been able to ascertain is that they are the same shoe size - and shoe's have been the most pressing issue with costuming the cast so on that at least there are options.
