A quick change is the back bone of the theatre world!!! There are very few things that get your blood pumping faster than working a quick change while opening a curtain, kicking a table out on stage and flipping lights for the next scene all at the same time.
In Oklahoma!, Lindsey Phelps managed to rip the entire zipper out of her saloon girl costume 2 minutes before she was supposed to be on stage. Regina and I each safety pinned Lindsey's costume to her bra with one hand. While doing this, my other hand was changing out all of the different lights for the dream. Regina managed to extend the arm that was connected to her other hand (making it about seven feet long) and changed out the curtain. Exciting times!!
I too voted for Krislyn. Sally sweat and makeup. Mmmm...Sally sweat....
