From the designer's ateliere: 10 days to opening day...

10 days to opening day...

The excitement builds in our team. We cry when we see each other's work, but most importantly, we always laugh, a lot. This production is no doubt one of my happiest theater experiences. In the middle of the laughter there is always Tonette.

We love working with Tonette Navarro, who is designing and supervising the costumes for the show. Today she sent me this picture from her atelier...



This is the sexy lingerie that Mar Hobson (Géraldine Dulex) wears during her flashbacks: the memories of a happier time with her husband Thomas (Chris Popio).

We met the super-talented Tonette and Trap Door Theater. I've never found anybody who can be both so detailed, and still so flexible and collaborative. She is the embodiment of "grace under pressure". With Tonette in charge of costumes, I know I can relax and expect first class work, always receiving beyond my wildest expectations with a very generous smile.

I was lucky to work with her in "Smartphones, a pocket-size farce". Her manicured styles brought much deserve accolade. Particularly the striking pink dress worn by Géraldine Dulex.



This time around Tonette gets to dress Géraldine in four couture dresses, all of them in the same purple color. I can't wait to see them in action. Dress Rehearsal is a week from today!
