Finally moved onstage yesterday for The Importance of Being Earnest.  After the complexities of mounting Apollo and How to Disappear, the crew seemed delighted to be ahead of schedule with the set and costumes.

Sharonlee McLean is having  a ball as Miss Prism, and I think her costume just made her that much happier.   Life as a blonde!

The transformations from act to act happen pretty seamlessly, but offer very dramatically different tones.  It looks like a big sorbet in the middle of a 9 course meal.  Sweet.

Nikki Coble (Cecily) had no trouble at all balancing her new hat on her head.  In some ways, I think it’s actually easier to act this play in clothes of the period than in contemporary clothes – because all of a sudden it feels like this language SHOULD be coming out of your mouth.
