Our COSTUMES are back in the attic trunk!


Thank you to everyone who came to see our show this year.

We appreciate your love and support.



Happy Hallowe'en!

Saturday, October 16, 2010

COSTUMES - the musical is a tale of love and deception that began forty years ago when a ragman arrived in the little town "that lives deep in your memory and mine" and sold his ribbons and rags to a young, impressionable Jasmine Bradley. He taught her "how to fashion them for masquerade and play," they went to the annual Hallowe'en party together where he won "First Prize for Best Costume Overall," and then he disappeared. Forty years later, Jasmine's great niece and her friend beg to look at the costumes rumored to have given all who saw them nightmares for a year. They want to "scare all our friends for a change" at the party. When they open the attic trunk, they're disappointed to find only a few "silly old-fashioned kid costumes." Those "silly old-fashioned kid costumes" are not amused! And guess who's come back to town . . .

Oct 21-23 in the Linnaeus Garden Barn at the Tulsa Garden Center.

"Hey, the window's open," Lily said when they reached the attic.
"Aunt Jazz said she hadn't been up here for years. Footprints. Look."

"I can't," Tom said, his voice cracking.
"It means there could be a burglar hiding out up here!"

more masquerade and make believe

Living Room Theatre
Imagine yourself at home with family and friends,
all laughing and having a grand time.
It's Hallowe'en night and the spooky stories begin.
You know, the stories about skeletons rattling in the closet,
ghosts creaking the stairs,
pirates throwing you overboard,
gypsies telling your fortunes.
All at once someone hollers, "Let's put on a show!"
Scripts are passed around, costumes patched together,
chairs rearranged to create an audience.
A stage is marked off in blue tape, house lights are dimmed,
and then, right before your eyes,
the show begins.

Nothing stays the same, not even in the town where it's always October, always Hallowe'en! An English teacher named Edwin Parker has moved in next door to Jasmine Bradley. When he learns she has the costumes she created forty years earlier still locked away in a steamer trunk in her attic, he convinces her to let go of them. She's not sure that's a wise idea.
