Wild Party

I worked as the costume crafts head on University of North Carolina School of the Arts production of The Wild Party. This 1920s musical required lots of detailed crafts work to make everything shine. The intense choreography provided the challenge of safety rigging all shoes, as well as having to make multiples to last the run of the show.
