Here are a few sights and scenes from a glorious autumn weekend around Morristown. First stop: Madison, and the Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey’s annual Halloween costume sale:
It takes about a month to fit costumes for actors in a new production, according to Pam Prior, costume manager for the Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey in Madison. Evidently, it can take years to unload those costumes after the show closes.
All sorts of props and costumes–including a lot of red-painted “zombie shirts”– were on sale Saturday at the theater’s annual Halloween costume and prop sale.
There is plenty more where that came from. Costumes from the theater fill two classrooms, said Pam.
The theater’s next production, A Lion in Winter, begins previews on Oct. 20.
NEXT STOP: Light the Night in Morristown. A sea of walkers lined South Street at sundown Saturday to raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
And then, there was the Morristown Farmers Market…
You’ve heard of show dogs and show horses… but show alpacas? Yes, and a champion named Beethoven visited the Morristown Farmers Market on Sunday.
Daryl Goodrich of the Angel Wood Alpaca Farm in Hackettstown said the 150-pound animals are judged for their “crimp”–the quality of their coat that gives body and memory to a fleece sweater.
You mean, like a memory foam mattress?
“No, this is softer and more durable,” Daryl said.
But where do you tuck in the sheets?
