Hello darlings, Gladys Costumier
here…well what a 2016 it’s been for Ruth and the AdmiralCostumes’ team.
We’ve welcomed new Am/Dram groups and schools into the
Admiral Costume fold and what an amazing group of people they have been and
continued to work with established friends.
There’s so much talent out there that, whilst not making the headlines, they
certainly deserve recognition…and the attention to detail that the groups
strive for, is a true testament to every Am/Drams vision of their stage
production!
We’ve had fun this year supplying
costumes for a diverse collection of stage shows, from the always popular Sound of Music, Guys and Dolls,
South Pacific (one of my favourites) to the less
well known Vinegar Tom, that’s all about
witchcraft and is named after a cat that features in the play (Who knew??) and the
stunning Gilbert and Sullivan Princess Ida, which is essentially a battle of the
sexes…I must say – I did enjoy being dressed for that show…I mean who doesn’t
like to be dressed up like a princess!!
I will say though, one of the
biggest highlights this year has been the call from StrictlyCome Dancing asking for us to supply our Sound of Music curtain costumes
for the show (you can imagine the conversation over our morning cuppa when Ruth
got the call) but it was amazing to see them on the small screen and even
better, when Ore won – we think our lederhosen had something to do with his win
by the way…!!!
So my dear friends with New Year
fast approaching, Ruth, the team and myself wanted to wish you all a Happy New
Year. For those contemplating treading
the boards – go for it, for those behind the scenes, you are the engine that
makes the production amazing and to everyone, please try to make time to see a
local stage production, there’s some amazing talent out there!!
Toodles darlings and see you in
2017!!
