This last month I spent some time creating costumes for my daughter’s middle school production of Little Shop of Horrors. I worked with a high school girl who created the puppets while I made the costumes. I love making things for performance. It’s going back to my roots and its fun to work with such broad strokes on things that won’t be seen closer than 10 feet away. It’s always amazing to see the kids put their hearts into the production and see them grow, literally when it came to the plant! And I have to give major props to Glyde King, the teacher and director whose vision and high expectations of these kids pays off in so many ways. And thanks to Daniel Sheehan whose great photos you see here. His daughter, Claire, was our littlest plant and a scene stealer for sure.
