Independence

This is suppose to be a naturalistic, modern piece about 3 sisters, and their mother... their mildly crazy mother. The setting: Independence, MO.This show sounds deceptively simple to do, but it managed to have over 30 costumes. The action of the play takes place on 7 separate days, over 2 weeks, times 4 people. Fortunately, I saw this particular truck coming right at me, and managed to get a dresser for each actor, by pointing out that there were a couple of 20 second costume changes for all 4 characters, simultaneously.
