“Who would have thought that I would ever be a costumer?” This thought goes through Grant’s mind just about every time he sets out on another costume search. From high schoolers to drag queen to US Marines and now Dolly Parton and secretaries in 1979. It’s been a lot of fun and you meet the nicest people in thrift stores. They are always ready to offer an opinion and as often as not assistance. To all those lovely ladies who answered the question “Would a woman where this to work in 1979?” Thank you!

David is really happy to be Stage Managing his first production here at Stand Up For Theater. Their previous credits with the company include playing LT. Jack Ross in A Few Good Men and Assistant Stage Managing their production of Carrie. Off-time, David works as a mediator in Anne Arundel County and hopes to open his own theater company promoting social justice and nonviolent causes. They would like to thank the cast and crew for lending their artistic talents to this amazing production. Enjoy the show!
