What do you do?
I support community costuming needs at a somewhat break even level. I directly costume some local productions now, primarily at the Bellingham Theater Guild, but from connections made during my years costuming Bellingham High School shows I continue as a resource for some other county high schools. Students who are studying theater are always welcome to use my costume stock.
Advice/words of wisdom that affected your life you’d like to pass on?
I did not recognize or nurture my interest in costumes when I was younger or respect my gut instincts. Sometimes you are surrounded by those who will advise you. Sometimes you will hear them.
Personally, I am trying to follow something I read that is close to this: One act is worth a hundred good intentions.
