This past week I've spent my time helping out at King Edwards school for their production of Cabaret. It was great to see how much had happened in the past three months, the sets and costumes were amazing along with the actors themselves watching rehearsals it was easy to forget that this was only a school production, because it was so much better than some stage shows I've seen at theatres.

All of the principals there were two cast I'm presuming for the obvious (if one was ill) but I also think as they were the main speaking parts it meant that more students could take part as a main role. Luckily from a costume side of things the girls were the same size so they could share costumes rather than upping the cost by having double main costumes and confusing things when it came to their quick changes.

My role with the production was wardrobe mistress, doing the general fix ups, taking in, being side stage in case there were any breaks during show and helping the cast with quick changes but it was mostly only Sally Bowles and the MC that had any change in costume.

It was interesting to see the Costumes designers take on the characters and I like the simplicity or the costumes and the simple theme of black. As it did the job especially for Sally's role. When she's performing in the Kit Kat club it's sparkles and accessories but when she takes a side step and at the apartment with cliff she's always in the pant suit adding a bit of colour to her with the blue.
