You guys remember that I do costume work every now and then, right? So you recall my helping out Jitterbug Theatre Productions with Mulan, Jr.? Excellent!

Well, great news. Mulan, Jr. was selected to be one of three shows to be performed at the Southeastern Theatre Conference’s Theatre for Youth Festival, the largest conference in the United States. (Can you tell that I just finally looked up all the details?)

In one part of the play, with which you may be familiar thanks to Disney, some soliders of the Chinese army disguise themselves as women in order to save the Emperor from the Huns. In the original performances Jitterbug put on, we had the fellas don cheongsams sloppily, which was really funny. However, the director, Erin Langley, wanted to spice up the looks for these characters for the big day in Lexington, Kentucky on March 4th. (Yes, Katie, I said Lexington! Go support the Alabama youth!) These are a few of the gaudy/humorous headdresses I put together tonight, and please excuse my lack of looking decent:

Confucius say they look better on stage.
