What is this?

This blog will be a resource for recording thoughts, ideas, schemes, and anything else that develops on the way to forming a unified voice and center for the Charleston arts community. Everything presented here is subject to change.

How does this work?

There will be a designated set of authors who will be responsible for posting topics for discussion, to begin with anyone may comment on a discussion topic or suggest a new post but only the authors may post new topics (this is mostly to avoid spamming and over posting). In time this can develop into an online wiki or discussion board style web page of information and ideas, but at the moment a blog is the most direct, immediate and open way to track the development of the ideas being developed. if you have a suggestion or want to post please send email to

Footlight Players: Footlight looking for designers for our new Fashion Fundraiser!

CAN YOU DESIGN A DRESS, THEN MAKE IT? IF “SEW,” HERE IS AN OFFER TOO GOOD TO REFUSE!

Whether you are an emerging designer with hopes of being the next Runway star or someone of any age or background who has been sewing her/his whole life and loving it, here is your chance to:

Showcase your talent, Earn some $$$
Help The Footlight Players
…all at the same time!

The Footlight Players and The Hat Ladies are in high fashion once again, in conjunction with the play, Five Women Wearing the Same Dress. Here is how the fundraiser works:

*You design a dress. It could be one to wear to the store, the finest restaurant, the theater, the prom, a wedding, etc. It could be for an adult or for a child.

*You determine the cost of YOUR dress.

*You determine what percentage of your sale price you will donate to The Footlight Players (Ex: Dress price =$150, donate 30% to Footlight then you get $105 and Footlight gets $45 per dress).

*Your dress will hang in the Lobby of The Theater for the entire run of Five Women Wearing the Same Dress. (March 11-28, 2010). During this time, 5 patrons will have the opportunity to buy your dress.

*You then make five dresses of this design, custom fitting it for each buyer.

All participants receive these additional perks:

2 complimentary tickets to a private performance of the play, Thursday, March 11, 2010
Your name in the playbill
Your name on a poster in the Lobby
Your name and contact information next to your dress
The chance for your dress to be chosen to appear on the TV show, Lowcountry Live, during opening week of the play.

That is right! Your unique design may be seen walking down the street, going out on the town on 5 different women. It will be admired by hundreds of theatre attendees as well as tourists here for Charleston Fashion Week, which runs concurrently.
