Carnival Nocturne by Silent Theatre Company

2009-10-21T11:03:00.000-07:00

When: Shows 4 nights a week from Nov. 17th until Dec. 20th at 7:30pm

Where: Store Front Theater - 66 E. Randolph St Chicago map it!

Tickets: $20 order now!

More Info: http://silenttheatre.com/Upcoming_Events.html

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 limebarb? Barb Staples designing and crafting all the costumes for this show! It is a very epic project for her as they have basically given her free range for designs - so you get to see some of her imagination really explode into life right before your eyes!! On some nights she will also be playing the part of the Figi Mermaid! She is just an extra so don't get too excited for her 'acting career', but it still should be loads of fun! Check out the more info page for some sketches of the designs!

limebarb.com now up and running!

Things to come!

2009-10-08T02:02:00.001-07:00

I am excited to announce we have a new page launch coming on SUNDAY, SUNDAY, SUNDAY! It is a relaunch of limebarb.com in a more organized, prettier format. I hope that it makes everyone's shopping and quoting experience more enjoyable.

We have been working on it night and day for months now and I AM SO SICK OF LOOKING AT IT RIGHT NOW! XD So the sooner it gets up the better! But it now has exciting new features like a section where you can place orders for garments and costumes designed by the limebarb staff (not just cosplay costumes!), it will also have a tutorial section for cosplayers, and an assortment of other exciting little bits of things to see and do.

I will be happy to get the page up so I can put all my focus into getting out the remaining October orders as Halloween approaches. I hope that I have the energy to dress up on Halloween because most years I am so burnt out by the time Halloween comes that I do not want to even look at costumes! XD Halloween represents the end of the busy season for us, then we have two months of slower production, then things start gearing up for the convention season again towards the end of December. So I am looking forward to a small break, and catching up on all the misc stuff in my life I neglect when I get busy at work.

Talk to everyone laters!
