An incredible thing happened to me a couple of weeks ago! Belvoir Street Theatre called me asking me to come in to work on one of their shows. The first day I could go in for them happened to be Australia Day and they were incredibly pleased that I happily went in to work for them on a public holiday!
I walked into the room and it was a whirlwind of colour, sequins and feathers! I LOVED it! I was working with the most delightful team of people too. Judy Tanner is just wonderful! She's the head of the costume department at Belvoir and full of healthy gourmet salad ideas and an equally healthy glow of positivity!
I was also sewing alongside the designer of the show (Tim Chappel). Tim had just got back from living in LA for 14 years and I was just full of questions about life there and how he got his foot in the door. Oh my lordy I almost fell off my chair when he told me that he was one of the designers of 'Priscilla, Queen of the Desert'! He had seriously made my day and I told him so!
"Tim! You've made my day! Meeting you has just made my day!" and I think my true excitement and adoration may have made his day too!

In short, 'Sapphires' is a true story and a musical about four indigenous sisters who travelled to Vietnam to entertain the troupes in the late 1960's. I'm really looking forward to seeing the show and seeing the girls in action!
