Sister Act

Sister Act, presented by Rochester Association of Performing Arts, Directed by Eric Johnson

Due to some unforeseen issues, the original costumer R.A.P.A had hired to do this show needed to leave the picture 19 days before tech. I was hired immediately after, starting completely from scratch along with a team consisting of Lisa Lipski, Andrea Degregori, and Carol DeBellis. We worked around the clock making 18 complete and accurate nun habits, each consisting of 7 individual pieces (the robe, scapular, yoke, wimple, crown, veil, and rosary) including 5 add-on sparkled pieces for the big numbers. This plus other special builds averaged out to around 225 individual handmade pieces in 19 days, not to mention the entire rest of the show that takes place in the 1970’s. Every cast member and friend with a minute to spare gifted us their time and skills, and against all odds we finished by opening! We didn’t cut out any onstage rip away gags or specialty bow outfits, and the show was a resounding success.
