"I'm considering to go as Philia from A Funny Thing...
It's not difficult... just a pretty toga. right?"
I'm playing Philia right now, and I'm so busy with previews/random clean up rehearsals that I don't think I'll have time to come up with anything, so I shall be going as Philia. My costume is a white flowy slip with a cream colored blouse that is decorated with gold trim.
I've done so many theatre related costumes, some of my favorites:
Sister Robert Anne from Nunsense at age eight (that one got some odd looks, just picture a tiny eight year old running around in an over sized nun costume)
A "Fosse" dancer at eleven ("Steam Heat" to be exact) which was a compromise between my mother and I- I wanted Maureen's cat suit.. she didn't like that idea.
A very tame mother-made version of Mazzepa from Gypsy at twelve- complete with trumpet.
Wicked Witch Of The East from Wizard Of Oz, (before Wicked) which consisted of striped tights, ruby read slippers and a house made out of a cardboard box that covered my upper body.
Last year I was Mrs. Lovett from Sweeney Todd. With pie.
