A Christmas Carol

Presented at the Alabama Shakespeare Festival, located in Montgomery, Alabama. Performed November 16th to December 24th, 2023. 

​

Charles Dickens' classic Christmas tale of the old miser Ebenezer Scrooge and his change of heart. Scrooge hates Christmas with a passion. Taking out his anger on his family, employees, friends, and London itself, he lives a lonely and pitiful existence. When his former coworker shows up as a ghostly apparition, Scrooge is told that he will be haunted by three ghosts: the Ghost of Christmas Past, the Ghost of Christmas Present, and the Ghost of Christmas Future. These ghosts show him the error of his ways and the joys of Christmas he elects to miss out on.

​

As the Wardrobe Supervisor for the Alabama Shakespeare Festival, I managed the dressing rooms and costumes. I made run plots for the show and took care of the laundering and dry cleaning of the costumes. I assisted with costume needs, like alterations, and helping actors into costume. I supervised wardrobe staff, and worked alongside the costume shop and wig team to bring the costumes, hair, and makeup together. I also orchestrated and performed the many quick changes during the run of the show.

​

As the Bookkeeper for the Alabama Shakespeare Festival, I assist the costume shop in organizing paperwork and receipts, managing the costume shop budget, and ordering costume pieces, fabrics, notions, office supplies, and more.
