{Out and About: Into the Woods}

July 12, 2019 by kelerr

My mom and I go see almost every production of Into the Woods that we can find locally. She took me to see it on Broadway for my seventh birthday, and it instilled in me my lifelong love and appreciation of live theater. So over the years its kind of become a thing, even though there is no regularity whatsoever to when we see it, nor do we actively seek out productions of it; we simply see the ones that […]

{Pattern Review: Madrid Dress}

July 9, 2019 by kelerr

A few weeks ago, I purchased some Atelier Brunette fabric (purchased from Oak Fabrics), which I consider my “Treat Yo Self” fabric as it tends to be much pricier per yard than I generally like to pay for fabric. However, both times I have bought some, it has been so worth it. The quality of the fabric is amazing, and they just came out with a new collection. I thought I knew what I wanted to do with the fabric, […]

{Costume Design Archives: The Music Man}

June 21, 2019 by kelerr

A few months ago, I wrote this post, “On Costume Design.” In it I talked about why I love designing theatrical costumes, and how I got started doing so. I had a number of photos from my past costuming jobs, and I thought it would be fun to go into a little more detail, show by show. The Music Man was my very first costuming job, back in 2008. It is insane to think that all these children are long […]

{Costume Design: The Harry Potter Series}

May 21, 2019 by kelerr

I don’t think the costumes of the Harry Potter series get a lot of credit, but when you really break it down, there’s a lot to think about. Along with the rest of the design team, the costume designer needs to create a unique look for an equally unique world and combine that with the modern-day world as well. The characters have their robes, their school uniforms and their “real” clothes that they wear when interacting with Muggles. On top […]

{Costume Design: Schitt’s Creek}

April 23, 2019 by kelerr

Greetings from Scotland! I’m on vacation this week, and I WILL be doing detailed posts about my activities as soon as I’m back, but for now I’ve got some scheduled stuff for you! Schitt’s Creek has long been one of my favorite things currently on television. I discovered it on Netflix a few years ago, and am now an avid fan. I adore the story of the Rose family, once extremely wealthy but who have their fortune stolen from them. […]

{The Little Mermaid Costumes, Part Two}

April 19, 2019 by kelerr

It’s time for the second installment of taking a look at the costumes for The Little Mermaid. Last week I outlined some of the major players. This week we’re going to look at some of the other characters, as well as Ariel’s human dresses. Ariel’s Human Dresses All of Ariel’s human costumes were designed to call back to her ocean life. Her main human dress had a pattern on it that reminded me of something that might grow underwater. I […]

{The Little Mermaid Costumes, Part One}

April 12, 2019 by kelerr

This year’s musical feels like whirlwind experience right now, though if you had asked me about it three months ago, I might’ve told you it was going really well, and then gone off and stress cried. But now that we’re a few weeks away from our run, I feel like it all went by in a blur, and I miss it dearly. You don’t truly know until you’re in the trenches of a musical yourself, but you become a family […]

{On Costume Design}

March 29, 2019 by kelerr

This past Wednesday was World Theater Day. I actually didn’t know that until the actual day, but I happened to be reflecting on instagram about costume design. I had posted a picture from The Little Mermaid and wrote some brief thoughts on the subject. I was in kind of a mood so I started playing with some fabric samples for next year’s show, laying them out and looking at them together and I just felt so happy and out of […]

{Out and About: Frozen on Broadway}

March 19, 2019 by kelerr

The Little Mermaid, Jr. has come and gone, and I am going to share my thoughts and pictures of the costumes with my readers, but I still need time to decompress the experience, which was exhilarating and completely exhausting and wonderful. You can look forward to that post hopefully sometime next week. However, when one musical closes it’s doors, another one comes into take it’s place. Last weekend, we announced our 2020 musical: Frozen, Jr! Of course, everyone involved is […]
