Dressed to Impress the Audience
Linda McCann treats us to another of her fascinating talks…this time recommended for the broad minded!
Linda will entertain us with recollections of shows gone by, costume disasters and triumphs, and working with “the stars” as their personal dresser.
As before, Linda will bring along an array of costumes and accessories to highlight and demonstrate just what goes into designing and making anything and everything involved in costuming a show, play, pageant etc. This time, however, she will also divulge personal stories of dealing with delicate stars and truculent directors. You’ll have a chance to ask your burning questions about stage and screen as well as the obligatory photo opportunity wearing any costume that takes your fancy.
The event will be held in the auditorium at Queens Road Baptist Church in Broadstairs. Tickets can be purchased from:
