In high school, college, and a few years after in a summer theater program, I was very involved in costume design (even thoughm y artistic talent was non-existant) and makeup... I was all about the details...
One show I had gone to -- I don't remember the show-- but it drove me nuts tha thte costumes had zippers... the period the play was taking place in zippers didn't exist.. they should have had buttons -- had i been doing costume design for that show-- they would have had buttons.. I also see hems that are coming down or not properly hemmed... or just things that are wrong...
I don't enjoy the theater because i can find too much to nitpick over...
