OMG!! I can so relate to this! My Mom did costumes too & she and both my sisters were in many shows, while I helped my Stage Manager Dad behind the scenes at local theater and then Bucks County Playhouse. I actually met my Hubby there, many moons ago, he was in South Pacific and our first kiss was behind the scenery :)
I did a couple shows, was a Shark in West Side Story and got to “pretend” spit at my twin sister, who was a Jet & did a few other chorus roles, but behind stage was much better for me!
I Love the Ginger story! Too cute!
Such a small world. :)
