Backstage star

When students attend a performance by the Towson Department of Theatre Arts, such as their current show “Spring Awakening,” they usually leave raving about the music, the actors and the lights. But for former costume shop manager Cheryl Partridge, the costumes are the star of the show. “Some shows, we were making like 15, 20 costumes in three weeks. And they had to be fitted, and they had to be built so that every time [...]
