Ain't Misbehavin'

This Fall, I also was the assistant costume designer for "Ain't Misbehavin'" at Crossroads Theatre, in New Brunswick, NJ.  Andre DeShields, from the original Broadway production,  directed it.  Deborah Caney, a longtime friend, was the costume designer.  (Fun fact:  I introduced Deb to her husband.)

One of the things I did was paint and dye the shoes.  I mixed the colors to match the dresses and suggested the glitter for a detail. Shoes are a specialty of mine. 
Our wardrobe supervisor, Chadd McMillan, took this photo for me.

I did lots of alterations, refurbishing and fancying up.

Check out the review in the NY Times.
 "tiny, twirlable purse"?  Yeah, that's me.

 Here are some close ups that I took.
