Theatrical Awareness
Today marks another "Only in New York" moment.
I am currently designing costumes for a show, and so I spent about 4 hours today in the Salvation Army in midtown. I had my measurement sheets on a clipboard, and my measuring tape around my neck, and a shopping cart full of possible choices. The surprising part was when one of the employees of the Salvation Army approached me and asked if I would like a rack. I wasn't sure what he meant until he showed me, but he was offering me a rolling rack on which to hang my clothes, rather than the shopping cart I had been using. I gratefully said yes, and thanked the guy. His response? "No problem. I know when designers come in they usually like to see everything hanging together." Where else but New York City would a Salvation Army employee have recognized me as a costume designer?
