A friend's little girl loved meeting Belle. We have a fancy new curtain to take photos in front of. The other side says "Valdosta State Theatre and Dance)
I took some backstage costume shots. How does an actor wear a chest of drawers? And sing and dance in it?
It's built around a harness and wooden frame work, and lots of padding. The clock that Cogsworth wears is made the same way.
Here it is, resting between shows.
Mrs. Potts teapot costume just hanging around.
Thank you, Thorne, for the backstage views of those character costumes! One enjoys the performance as presented, of course, but the "how it was done" is often equally entertaining.
