Nana Does Vegas

Presented at Meadow Brook Theatre, located in Rochester, Michigan. Performed January 5th thru 30th, 2022. (Cut off early because of COVID cases within the cast.)

The sequel to "Nana's Naughty Knickers", "Nana Does Vegas" is a farce about Nana, her friends, and her family getting into some crazy situations. Nana's granddaughter, Bridget, is coming to Vegas to celebrate her upcoming wedding. While she's away, her fiancé Tom, an FBI cop, is going undercover to capture one of Vegas' biggest crime bosses, who so happens to be living in the same casino as Nana, and so happens to be her boyfriend. While Tom tries to avoid Bridget, and the crime boss searches to find the person skimming off profits from the casino and making his superior mad (mad enough to kill him), chaos ensues. 

Being a Costume Intern, I worked Run Crew for this show. I prepped and preset the costumes for the show, styled and dressed the onstage mannequins, and maintained the wigs for the showgirl looks. These wigs also came with feather headdresses, which were tacked in to place for an easier quick change. I helped with quite a few changes and did some tracking, most notably for Trudy getting out of her normal clothes and into the full showgirl outfit. Underdressing the shorts and tights, I had to help her into the shoes (using a shoe horn), corset, robe, and wig, all in about 40 seconds. I also worked in the shop, doing basic alterations, and did light hang and focus.
