Hello blog-land! We here at the Sherwood household have been busy these past weeks performing The Sound of Music with a local youth theater company. Throughout the course of each evening I dressed myself in four different costumes and danced upon a stage of…stagelyness. (I just sort of ramble without thinking of what’s coming next; can you tell?) Anyways, I was alternately a nun, a townsperson, a puppet, and a rich lady at a party. In that order. I sang and I danced and I cried after the last show, but I’m alright now. I’m going to the cast party tonight, provided my cold doesn’t act up again. Yeah. I only sang for the first weekend because by the next weekend I had no voice. Here are some pictures from the show!
Here we have the persona I like to call “Sister Shannon.” This disguise is used when attempting to blend in as a penguin, or alternately, when infiltrating an Abbey.
And now we have “Confused Townsperson.” Perfect for roaming about Salzburg, especially during WWII reenactments.
Expanding on our Townsperson line, we now present the “Mama Goatherd” costume. You’ll fit right in with your frumpy skirt, woolen shawl, and hand-painted puppet cheeks!
Last but certainly not least we have the “Ball Gown” which will enable your to hobnob with the richest sea captains and their baroness lady friends. Keep in mind when wearing this costume that the floor-length gauzy skirt is easily trod apon by others, especially while waltzing.
