Carnival Nocturne by Silent Theatre Company
I just costumed this show! It opened last weekend, and only has three more weeks so you better hurry to check it out! It was a really great project for me and limebarb.com, because I pretty much had full creative control to bring these characters to life, and got to run with my crazy imagination and vision for them!

Description: “Welcome to the mysterious underground world of a traveling carnival. In the midst of fire breathers, fortune tellers, bestial tamers and natural freaks, a somber secret lies – a curse that binds them all together. With a live band and physical acts of carnival performance, this original dark fable by STC ensemble combines the styles of Tim Burton and Edward Gorey in a thrilling and enchanting ride through a world of whimsy and macabre.”
This show includes a large and fabulous cast, and features a live band that plays the music for each performance!
Why does this concern Barb? I am designing and crafting all the costumes for this show! It is a very epic project for me as they have basically given me free range for designs – so you get to see some of my imagination really explode into life right before your eyes!! On some nights I will also be playing the part of the Figi Mermaid! She is just an extra so don’t get too excited for my ‘acting career’, but it still should be loads of fun! Check out the more info page for some sketches of my designs!
