Today the Feehan theater company performed Hadestown Teen Edition for local grade schoolers. There is one point in the show where one of the characters has blood on their clothes. It is Eva’s job as the costume lead to clean the clothes between each show. I got her this red sox bucket from Lowes with a package of OxiClean that she could use to let the shirts soak until she got them home to wash. She actually created blood packets and they are put into tiny pockets that she sewed into the shirts. Essentially she created squibs for the show. Eva was not familiar with that word. A squib is a fake blood packet that is used in film production. She created those for the show. I was very impressed.

When I picked Eva up from school today she was all excited because her friend had come back from college to visit and she brought Eva a special apron that she had made for Eva. The apron says Costume Lead on it because that is what Eva is for the Fall production at Feehan. It is the perfect accessory for her as she is getting costumes ready for everyone in the play. It also meant a lot to Eva to receive this gift because she really looks up to her friend and enjoyed working with her, especially last year. Eva is pretty amazing in her own right and she’s been a great Costume lead for the Fall production. We cannot wait to see it.
