So it has been a really, really long time...

This is my second email message and again, I hope this is working. As
I believe I previously stated, my Grammy, who I am living with, does
not have the internet, which I know is hard to believe, but it is
true.

Anywho, I've been working away at the costume shop at NCRT 2-3 days a
week. Unfortunately, my helper Emily has left me, which will slow
down my progress greatly from now on, but oh well, I at least had her
helping for a while! We have a very nice plan of how the shop will be
set up and have finished one wall completely, which was quite the
accomplishment in itself. I don't believe I've ever seen that many
pairs of men's pants in my life...then again, I'm not a man, lol.

I was able to see the last show at NCRT, which was Gyspy (I'd italize
or underline this, but I can't on my phone). I have now seen that
show three times...and I'd rank this one #2 out of 3, since I believe
ours was much, much better. They did do a really good job for a
community theatre though. The talent was pretty good, with the actors
who played Herbie and Tulsa standing out the most. Their costumes
were well-planned, with all appearing to be from the same period. The
set was basic but efficient. I will say one thing I greatly enjoyed
was while they were doing set changes, they had vaudeville-esque acts
go on in front of the curtain and they were phenominal! Overall, I
enjoyed the performance.

My next area of work will be with dresses, which is the next wall
over. I believe the plan is to sort by size and then by long and
short and then by color, but we shall see. I really need to get the
costume shop's leader in so she can tell me if she is liking what we
are doing.

Well, au revoir from Nor. Cal for now!
