The Story Forge checks in with me 2 years later from the Broadway ShutDown.  Hear me shout out super swings, standbys and my incredible Come From Away family.

Take a listen.  Thank you, Lyle, for having me on.  While I giggle about being a "card carrying maker of magic", it really touches my heart.

The Story Forge Podcast

On March 27th, I was interviewed for The Story Forge about how Broadway is shut down for the Covid-19 Pandemic, my career and craftivism.  The day the interview came out was the day that we officially found out that (currently) we are dark until June 7th.

This has been where I have been spending a lot of time lately--my home studio.  I have made a lot of masks,both for the medical field and civilians, who were kind enough to donate to Relief Crafters.   I have pivoted back to making blankets for Project Linus, which will be a separate post.  Be forewarned: It will be very picture heavy!

What does a Wardrobe Supervisor do?

 Back in December of 2018, I did an interview with Alina Sergachov, a graduate folklore student at Memorial University of Newfoundland working on an occupational folklife project about theatre.

The goal of her project is to raise an awareness of the general public about different career options in the theatre. It takes the work of many people to create a theatre performance, but most of them don't get recognition. People always ask children what they want to be when they grow up. However, most of the kids don't know about the existence of various theatre career options such as dramaturges, child guardians, stage managers, flypeople, fight directors, set and prop builders, stagehands, lighting designers, etc. How can you aspire to a career one doesn't know exists?
