Grease

Presented at the Players Guild of Dearborn, located in Dearborn, Michigan. Performed July 12th thru 15th, 2018.

A classic musical set in the 1950's, teen Sandy has just moved to a new home. At the high school, she's surprised to find her summer lover, Danny, attending, and at how much he's changed. Instead of being caring and sweet, he's a tough, popular, intimidating gang member trying to keep up his bad boy exterior around Sandy. Will their relationship work, even after all these changes?

I volunteered at the Players Guild frequently in my youth, starting onstage then moving into the costume shop. For this show, I was Head of Wardrobe, as well as Costume Designer. We rented and pulled most of the pieces, finding most of what we needed through other schools that had put on the show, and in stock. I had to purchase costumes, pieces, and supplies as needed, and delegated tasks to my crew. I altered any ill-fitting costumes, and accessorized all of the looks with black bias tape or lace, to give the characters a more "Archie" comic feel. This made the colorful looks stand out even more as a result. I made the silver hairdresser capes for "Beauty School Dropout", and the bowtie worn by the Angel. My crew members made the cheerleader skirts and the curler hats. I have a soft spot for this particular show, and I am still super happy with the final product.
