Annie 2020/2021
Tuacahn Center for the Arts
In 2020, I joined a small group of artists at Tuacahn Center for the Arts during the pandemic to live and work in a bubble and get a head start on the shows that had been postponed to the next season. Annie was one of them and as the very first show I ever saw in my life, I was estatic to get involved. Most of this contract was focused on Beauty and the Beast, but I was able to complete two projects that I'm particularly proud of.
The first is Lily St. Regis' yellow jumpsuit. Yellow is objectively the best color so I manifested with all of my might that I get assigned this project. While not the most technically challenging project, I'm proud of the attention to detail here, especially in the sneaky side pocket.
Miss Hannigan's coat was next, with a striking green lining and some really fun darts, vent pleats, and pattern matching.
And a few festive vests for Oliver Warbucks' staff. Again, not such a technical project, but those are some clean lines.
