Dear Constant Reader,
I hope you’re keeping cool! It’s wretchedly hot here. Rehearsing in summer is a challenge — I don’t want to wear layers and everything sticks to my sweaty skin!
Speaking of the seasons, here’s a related tip, coming from Scratch, who manages most of the troupe’s costumes and similar stuff.
Rotate your stock.
If you’ve got props and costumes that you only use for acts at specific times of year, like holidays, pack them up and put them into deep storage when you’re not using them. There’s no reason for them to be taking up valuable real estate in your closet out of season. Then when Halloween draws closer, you can unpack your creepy costumes and pack up your summer barbecue act (remember to clean everything and make any necessary repairs before it goes into storage).
