Christmas Costuming Crisis at the Circus - Sewing a New Costume in Rehearsals!

Join me as I panic sew a new costume for opening night WHILE in the middle of day-long rehearsals for the very same show! Let the race against the clock begin 😊

Have we known that we were going to be doing this contract since mid-summer? Yes. Did they give us the seal of approval to wear our own costumes for the show? Also yes. Then how on Earth did I wind up juggling day-long rehearsals with panic sewing for our opening night? .... you'll have to watch to find out 🤣

I want to be very clear about something, though, that maybe didn't come across as strongly in the video as in real life: the company we're working for made it clear that our comfort and safety was priority #1, that we could use our own costumes if we weren't comfortable with their options, and that they would like to continue to explore options to more fully integrate us aesthetically into the show, but that the most important thing was our safety (and we appreciated that)!!

If you want to come see the show in person, and you happen to be in one of the following cities between now and December 31, feel free to message me on Instagram or email me for more show details. I also have the show info saved as a Highlight on my IG.
