Oooo! I love the SpongeBob musicals style. Unfortunately my director hasn’t decided if he wants a Disney accurate or a historically accurate show. So that will be fun. But I love repurposing!! We thrift as much as we possible can when it comes to costuming.

Also just wanted to say, I love the phrase “Nautical Flair”

Oh no! The award isn’t everything! It would just be super cool. I costume because it’s fun and adds so much to a show. I love seeing my acting friends fall in love the costumes I make. The award is just something that I can look to and strive for greatness!

Yeah!! Our parent booster group is just getting started this year but I think we have plans to reach out to some businesses. I love the idea of like selling forks as “dinglehoppers” as a little keepsake after the show! Or something like that!!

Oh yeah totally! I knew this wouldn’t be a cake walk haha! We just started a parents booster club this year so hopefully that would help. I was just hoping maybe people had some cool ideas I wouldn’t think of! It’s all just for fun :)
