San Diego Junior Theatre Costume Loft

Hello, all! So, one show is up and running. One show is waiting patiently in the wings. And one show is just getting its sea legs. Whew!

So, here's the breakdown for this week:

 - I will not be in Wednesday or Thursday, but I plan on sending some volunteer projects to La Jolla on both days so any of you that can drop in and take care of some simple projects and alterations would be much appreciated.

 - Friday, I will be working in the park from 11-6. I will be happy to accept volunteers for either Midsummer or for Seussical. (I will be working primarily on Midsummer, but there will be some Seussical project ready since we are fabric shopping for Seussical on Wednesday.)

 - On Saturday and Sunday this week, I'll be in La Jolla during tech rehearsals with projects galore. So, if you're planning on dropping your young actors off, park instead and come help us with the finishing touches before the first dress rehearsal on Monday.

Next week will be another hectic week. Check in here on Monday for details on where I'll be and what we'll be up to.

As always, thank you so much for any help you can give. Every second is precious to us!

Hey, gang... We're in the home stretch for Pippi! Opening night this Friday. We do have some projects that are available during the dress rehearsal today and tomorrow, so if you have time, feel free to drop in and help us finish up this fantastic looking show! There may also be some minor take home projects, but I'll know more at the end of rehearsal today.

Regarding Midsummer, there will be some projects available both Wednesday and Saturday up at the La Jolla space. We should also have some additional work every day next week. I'll post more on that first thing Monday morning!

Looking forward to any help that you guys can give. Thanks in advance!

Hey, y'all! It's that time again. Time to put it out there in the hopes that some of you guys will be able to come in and help us get clothes on these poor actors, up there, emoting their little hearts out on stage....

Pippi...

So, for Pippi, we are gearing up for that final push into Dress Rehearsal week next week. Volunteer hours at Balboa Park are from 4-6 every weekday (Tuesday-Friday) and Saturday (2-6).

There are no take-home projects for Pippi at the present time, but there might be some later this week, so be sure to drop me an e-mail, give me a phone call, or just drop in during rehearsals to inquire. (If you drop in during rehearsals, make sure that you have 15-20 minutes for me to gather some projects and to offer any necessary instructions. )

Midsummer...

For Midsummer, Lisa Samson has kindly volunteered to be in charge of a project for us on Wedensday. She has the materials and the instructions. All you need to bring is a pair of fabric scissors to participate. (We only have two that we could send up there .

For Midsummer, on Saturday, during rehearsal at La Jolla, Crystal (the costume designer) and I will be there with some additional project to work on. They will consist of some tracing and some machine stitching and possibly some hand stitching. If you have a little sewing kit, it's good to bring it with you to La Jolla since we don't have a permanent space up there, but I will do my best to have enough supplies for anyone who want to volunteer.

Unfortunately, there are no take-home projects for Midsummer at this time, but keep checking back.

Thank you all for all you do!!!

Because of the dance company's school performance (which I thought was last week--oops!), we will not be in the loft on Friday, 2/19, until 1 p.m. So, hours for Friday will be 1-6.

Hey, gang. Just want to let you know that the loft will be open for parent volunteers from 4-6 Tuesday through Friday this week. We will not be open this weekend for volunteers due to the Civic Dance Theatre's performances. Next weekend, we will have the theatre back and we'll have some weekend hours.

Hey, gang. So, we're up and running with Pippi Longstocking in the costume loft. We are starting fittings tomorrow (Wednesday) and will probably have some machine and hand work available starting on Thursday. Even if we don't have work for Pippi, we are in the process of bagging and tagging our fabrics and extra supplies up in the loft, so we can use all hands on deck!

This week, we will be open for volunteers Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from 4-6. We will not be open on Saturday due to the Civic Dance Academy's production on the main stage.

Looking forward to seeing you up in the loft!
