Baby T Helps Load-in For Theories of the Sun
August 31st, 2010
Hello my most esteemed readers,
It’s time to put your party pants on. Sideshow moved Theories of the Sun into Theater Wit this weekend. Behold the glory of our outdoor signage!
That sign is so pretty, I want to kiss it.
Some of you may not know this, but Sideshow Box Office Manager Heather Irwin has a young child, Baby Thomas (or as we refer to him, Baby T). Theories will be Baby T’s THIRD Sideshow production. He is currently working as our unofficial assistant costume designer, and while he’s just amazing during the brainstorming process, he tends to spit up or chew on the final costume pieces. So you know, you gotta be careful about that. I asked him once about why he felt the need to chew on every single button on a three piece suit, but he told me to BACK OFF, because it was part of his process. If he wasn’t such a brilliant assistant, I would have been upset. Oh, artists.
Baby Thomas eats all our snacks.
Scandal broke out at load-in because Baby T, who we THOUGHT was loyal only to Sideshow, decided that we were just not paying him enough and applied for a job as the new Theater Wit janitor. Beware, these next few photos are SHOCKING.
Caught, red handed, working for the man.
Rarely am I this happy at work.
Unbelievable. I feel like there must be some child labor laws being broken, since he’s not even 2 yet. But Baby T begged me not to call the authorities – he believes this role is key to his future development, and how dare I take away an opportunity for his personal growth. I said ok buddy, you know what’s up. And then I totally told on him to his mommy.
Either way, check out the stunning costumes in Theories of the Sun, designed by the talented David Hyman with assistance from the one and only, Thomas. Get your tickets TODAY as previews start Sunday, September 5th, for only $10!
Until next time,
Ms. Megan
OMG Baby T is so big and cute! And he looks like his dad when he’s riding in that bucket. What a trickster.
You all are lucky to have Heather. She’ll keep an eye on Mr. T while doing 15 other things too. She kicks but.
He is adorable! But is growing way to fast. I guess another actor in training! Heather is so talented and I am certain a delight to work with.
Hahaha – major kudos to my friends! I am blushing for me and my baby.
This is brilliant in content and photography. He tried to help with the scene painting too…but he really is more of a textile man.
Heather (& Baby T)
PS – I realized it has in fact been FOUR productions. He was happily napping & swimming away in my tummy during “Everything Freezes”.
