Costumes for Romeo and Juliet will be so much fun! We will upcycle existing garments and assemble looks for each actor. Sewing expert Megan Avery will give specific lessons to expand our sewing skills. The color palette and direction is in development and will be shared with workshop participants before the start of the session in order to get their input and ideas.

Participants are expected to help with Strike on Sunday, August 4.
