It’s finally coming to an end.  It was an intense pleasure to work with Darren and everyone. I became intimately aware of many parts of my dear friends in the costume creating and fitting process and along with the talented hands of Nicole Boyce we stretched $300 into 13 principle characters’ costumes. My apartment looked as though a leather and fur fringe monster had been murdered there with bits of leather and such strewn heavily about. Nick wenger, my roomate at the time was very understanding and supportive. I have to say Darren was an inspiring joy to work with.

I think one funny story about the costume creating process was when I was sitting on the floor of my kitchen at 4 in the morning with a hacksaw removing the horns from a skull we had bought on eBay so they could be affixed to Heather’s crown. I was sitting on the floor sawing away and my roomate who had woken up thirsty comes out to the kitchen and finds me there. We exchanged looks. He said nothing and returned to bed no longer in need of liquid refreshment. The cast, which was comprised of friends and crew (though damn fine actors all–except that faeirie slut) was amazing to work with and so giving and kind. This project was like being in a big crazy family. I would love to work with any and all of them again, especially the maestro.
