Wardrobe, Tennelle worked tirelessly beside her mom and sister with costumes and set construction. The Flowers family also had a lot of help not just from students, but families of the cast and even some former students who returned just to help out. Shilo said that she loves involving the cast in more than just the acting and crew work of the performances Westview puts on, and it is this deeper involvement that inspires greater dedication and enthusiasm in the students. Last year Westview performed Much Ado About Nothing in a very cast-directed setting. Not wanting to do a traditional Shakespearean play, Tennelle condensed and re-wrote the script to fit less than 20 pages, and then set the story on a modernday cruise ship. While Shilo worked with the cast of the main plot, Tennelle worked with the extras to create original storylines that really succeeded in hamming up the whole show, making it a side-splitting comedy for everyone. It was during this show that Shilo mentioned she was considering doing Wardrobe the following year, which sent her students cheering with excitement and anticipation. During the summer the students met at the Flowers’ home to brainstorm about costumes and set design, and the set for Wardrobe was constructed entirely over Christmas break. Technological high points included the Centaur (Ryan Wisler) whose costume piece had back legs that moved with him when he walked, as well as the cracking of the stone table and the big battle scene at the end that encompassed the entire stage. Since the original script did not have the wardrobe appearing on stage during any point in the show, Shilo and her crew built a makeshift wardrobe that was set on stage for the closing. All the cast members passed through the wardrobe to take their final bows, giving the show a superb finish. If you were not able to catch this show, don’t worry! Agatha Christie’s Ten Little Indians is in the works for the spring of 2013 and is sure to be a hit!
